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 :
- Option A:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Option B:Correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Option C:
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Option D:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
Correct answer is option (2) because
Statement I is false as the descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water and almost
impermeable to electrolytes.
Statement II is false as proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium
which increases the surface area for reabsorption.
