Select the correct statement.

Easy

A

A small amount of urea is transported to the medullary interstitium by the ascending limb of the Henle’s loop.
B

The human kidneys can produce urine nearly four times concentrated than the initial filtrate formed.
C

NaCl transported out of the descending limb of the vasa recta enters the ascending limb of Henle’s loop.
D

The proximity between the Henle’s loop and the vasa recta helps in maintaining a decreasing osmolarity towards the inner medullary interstitium.

Solution

The human kidneys can produce urine nearly four times concentrated than the initial filtrate formed.
A small amount of urea is transported to the medullary interstitium by the collecting duct.
NaCl transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop enters the descending limb of vasa recta.
The proximity between the Henle’s loop and vasa recta helps in maintaining an increasing osmolarity towards the inner medullary interstitium.
