Potassium ions:

I: are filtered at the glomerulus
II: are reabsorbed at the PCT
III: are secreted at DCT
Correct statements are:
1. I & II only 2. I & III only
3. II & III only 4. I, II & III
Subtopic:  Formation of Urine |
Level 3: 35%-60%

Excretion of dilute urine requires

1. relative permeability of the distal tubule to water
2. transport of sodium and chloride ions out of the descending loop of Henle
3. the presence of ADH
4. impermeability of the collecting tubule to water
