Choose the wrong statement regarding urine formation
Filtration is non-selective process performed by glomerulus
The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through three layers
GFR in a healthy individual is approximately 125 ml/min
A fall in GFR activates the JG cells to release renin
A fall in GFR activates the JG cells to release renin
Identify the correct statement regarding urine formation
Counter current mechanism works around the glomerulus and PCT
To prevent diuresis, ADH facilitates water reabsorption
from the latter parts of the tubule
Maximum absorption of electrolytes occurs in the Henle's loop
A decrease in blood pressure can increase the glomerular filtration rate
A decrease in blood pressure can increase the glomerular filtration rate
