Read the following statements and choose the follwoing option: 1. Cortical nephron has short loop of Henle 2. Peritubular capillaries are formed by afferent arteriole 3. PCT open into collecting ducts 4. A hairpin shaped Henle’s loop is the part of the tubule which has a descending and an ascending limb 5. The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct

Step-by-step solution

In majority of nephrons, the loop of Henle is too short and extends only very little into the medulla. A hairpin shaped Henle’s loop is the next part of the tubule which has a descending and an ascending limb. The ascending limb continues as another highly coiled tubular region called distal convoluted tubule (DCT). The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct.
