Vedclass · Answer

(D) The nephron consists of various segments with different permeability properties.$1$. The $PCT$ (Proximal Convoluted Tubule) is highly permeable to water and electrolytes.$2$. The descending limb of the Loop of Henle is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes.$3$. The ascending limb of the Loop of Henle is impermeable to water but allows the transport of electrolytes (like $Na^+$,$K^+$,$Cl^-$).$4$. Therefore,the ascending limb is the part that is generally impermeable to water.
