Given below are two statements : Statement I : In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes. Statement II : The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below :
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer is option (1) because Statement I is false as the descending limb of loop of Henle is permeable to water and almost impermeable to electrolytes. Statement II is false as proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption.
