a) Micturition is carried out by a reflex.
• This statement is True because it is generated from the level of the spinal cord. It is restricted by the brain and relaxing by the external sphincter.
b) ADH helps in water elimination, making urine hypotonic.
• This statement is False.
Because ADH does not eliminate water. ADH increases the water reabsorption from the urine.
c) Protein -free fluid is filtered from the blood plasma into the Bowman's capsule.
• This statement is True because these plasma proteins or cells molecular weight is high.
d) Henle's loop plays an important role in concentrating urine.
• This statement is True
Henle's loop is the most essential part of Nephron. The main function of this loop is to create a concentration gradient In the medulla of the kidney.
e) Glucose is actively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
This statement is True.
• Because the proximal convoluted tubule is extended from the Bowman's capsule and helps in selective reabsorption of glucose.
