Vedclass · Answer

(A) nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney.It consists of two main parts: the Malpighian corpuscle and the renal tubule.The renal tubule begins with a double-walled cup-like structure called Bowman's capsule,which further continues into a highly coiled network called the Proximal Convoluted Tubule $(PCT)$.This is followed by the Henle's loop and then the Distal Convoluted Tubule $(DCT)$,which finally opens into the collecting duct.Therefore,both $PCT$ and $DCT$ are integral parts of a nephron.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$a. PCT$	$i. \text{Selective secretion of } H^+ \text{ and } K^+ \text{ ions}$
$b. DCT$	$ii. 70-80\% \text{ of electrolytes and water reabsorption}$
$c. \text{Descending limb}$	$iii. \text{Allows passage of small amounts of urea}$
$d. \text{Ascending limb}$	$iv. \text{Permeable to water}$
$e. \text{Collecting duct}$	$v. \text{Permeable to salts}$
