A-iii, B-iv, C-i, D-v, E-ii
A-i, B-iii, C-ii, D-v, E-iv
A-iii, B-v, C-iv, D-ii, E-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Proximal convoluted tubule is responsible for reabsorption of 70-80% of electrolytes. Distal convoluted tubule maintains ionic balance. Henle's loop forms concentrated urine. Counter-current mechanism maintains the concentration gradient in the medulla. Renal corpuscle is involved in the filtration of blood.
