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

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

Vasa recta refers to

• rectum region of the insects

• blood capillaries in invertebrates

• a fine blood capillary network of afferent arteriole

• a fine capillary which runs parallel to Henle's loop

• a fine capillary which runs parallel to Henle's loop

• Grasshopper - Malpighian tubules

• Prawn - Flame cells

Read the following statements and choose the correct option

(i) The glomerular filtration rate in a healthy individual is about 180 ml per day.

(ii) All the constituents of the plasma pass into the lumen of Bowman's capsule.

(iii) 70/80% of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed in the PCT.
