Nephron Segment Characteristic A. Proximal Convoluted Tubule 1. High permeability to water B. Loop of Henle (Descending Limb) 2. Active reabsorption of sodium C. Loop of Henle (Ascending Limb) 3. Permeable to ions, impermeable to water D. Distal Convoluted Tubule 4. Major site of secretion
Options
- AA-2; B-1; C-3; D-4
- BA-3; B-4; C-2; D-1
- CA-1; B-2; C-4; D-3
- DA-4; B-3; C-1; D-2
Correct answer
A. A-2; B-1; C-3; D-4
Step-by-step solution
The Proximal Convoluted Tubule actively reabsorbs sodium. The Descending Limb of Loop of Henle is highly permeable to water. The Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle is permeable to ions but impermeable to water. The Distal Convoluted Tubule is a major site of secretion.
