I: | Each kidney of an adult human measures 10-12 cm in length, 5-7 cm in width and 2-3 cm in thickness. |
II: | The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct. |
III: | Each nephron has two parts – the glomerulus and the renal tubule. |
IV: | The renal tubule begins with the proximal convoluted tubule. |

1. | The descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes. |
2. | The ascending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water but allows transport of electrolytes actively or passively. |
3. | DCT is capable of reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions and ammonia to maintain the pH and electrolyte balance in the body. |
4. | PCT does not play any role in reabsorption of bicarbonate ions and selective secretion of hydrogen and ammonia to maintain the pH and electrolyte balance in the body. |
