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. |

3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
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. |
Collecting duct does not:
I: | allow reabsorption of large amount of water during concentration of urine. |
II: | allow passage of small amounts of urea into medullary interstitium to keep up the osmolarity. |
III: | play a role in the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of blood by the selective secretion of H+ and K+ ions. |

During hemodialysis:
I: | Cellophane tube in a dialysing unit acts as artificial kidney. |
II: | Heparin is added to the blood before it is passed on to the dialysing unit. |
III: | The cleared blood is pumped back to the body through a vein after adding anti-heparin to it. |

(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. |
