Assertion (A): Filtration of blood through Bowman's capsule is called ultrafiltration.
Reason (R): Blood is filtered very finely that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins pass onto the lumen of the Bowman’s capsule.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Find out the true (T)/ false (F) statements and choose the correct option :
I. DCT reabsorbs glucose
II. The term urine is used for the first time when glomerular filtrate reaches the collecting tubule
III. DCT helps in the reabsorption of Na+, H2O and HCO-3 and secretion of H+, K+ and NH3.
IV. The layers between the glomerular and Bowman's capsule through which filtration occurs are endothelium of glomerular blood vessel, basement membrane between endothelium of glomerular blood vessels and epithelium of the Bowman's capsule, and epithelium of Bowman's capsule
