The JGA (Juxta Glomerular Apparatus) is a special sensitive region formed by cellular modifications in___________ related to the same nephron.
1. Distal convoluted tubule and efferent renal arteriole
2. Proximal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
3. Distal convoluted tubule and afferent renal arteriole
4. Proximal convoluted tubule and efferent renal arteriole

Please attempt this question first.

Given below are statements:
Statement I: In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes.
Statement II: The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:


1. Both Statement I and Statement II are False
2. Statement I is True but Statement II is False
3. Statement I is False but Statement II is True
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are True

Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron?
1. Henle’s loop – most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate
2. Distal convoluted tubule – reabsorption of ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
3. Afferent arteriole – carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein
4. Podocytes - create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule
