Given below are two statements:

Statements I: Concentrated urine is formed due to counter current mechanism in nephron.

Statement II: Counter current mechanism helps to maintain osmotic gradient in the medullary interstitium.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Given below are two 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 option given below :

Choose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)

Assertion (A) : Ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively.

Reason (R) : Dilution of filtrate takes place due to efflux of electrolytes in the medullary fluid.

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

Given below are two statements :

Statement I :- Goblet cells are unicellular glands.

Statement II :- Earwax is the secretion of exocrine gland.

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

Arrange the events of Renin - Angiotensin mechanism in correct sequence.

(A) Activation of JG cells and release of renin.

(B) Angiotensin II activates release of aldosterone.

(C) Fall in glomerular blood pressure.

(D) Reabsorption of Na⁺ and water from distal convoluted tubule.

(E) Angiotensinogen is converted to Angiotensin I and then to Angiotensin II.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : Nephrons are of two types: Cortical & Juxta medullary, based on their relative position in cortex and medulla.

Reason R : Juxta medullary nephrons have short loop of Henle whereas, cortical nephrons have longer loop of Henle.

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

E. ADH is responsible for decrease in GFR.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Select the correct statements.

(a) Angiotensin II activates the cortex of adrenal gland to release aldosterone.

(b) Aldosterone leads to increase in blood pressure.

(c) ANF acts as a check on renin-angiotensin mechanism.

(d) ADH causes vasodilation.

(e) Vasopressin is released from adenohypophysis.
