To maintain the pH and ionic balance of the body fluids, the proximal convoluted tubule selectively secretes all the following into the filtrate except:
I. | Hydrogen ion | II. | Potassium ion |
III. | Ammonia | IV. | Bicarbonate ion |
I: | They are located at the level of T12 – L2 vertebrae |
II: | Left kidney is slightly lower placed than the right kidney |
I: | Each kidney of an adult human measures 10-12 cm in length, 5-7 cm in width and 2-3 cm in thickness. |
II: | The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct. |
III: | Each nephron has two parts – the glomerulus and the renal tubule. |
IV: | The renal tubule begins with the proximal convoluted tubule. |
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I, II and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
