Consider the two statements:
Assertion  (A): An excess of aldosterone can cause a decrease in potassium ion concentration in body fluids.
Reason (R): Aldosterone acts mainly at the renal tubules and stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and water.

2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. Both (A) and (R) are False.

Consider the given two statements regarding concentration of urine by the human kidneys:
Statement I: NaCl is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is exchanged with the descending limb of vasa recta and is returned to the interstitium by the ascending portion of vasa recta.
Statement II: Small amounts of urea enter the thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is transported back to the interstitium by the collecting tubule.
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
