2. 20 % of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a minute.
3. 30 % of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a minute.

Consider the two statements:
Statement I: JGA is a special sensitive region formed by cellular modifications in the proximal convoluted tubule and the efferent arteriole at the location of their contact.
Statement II: A fall in GFR can activate the JG cells to release renin which can stimulate the glomerular blood flow and thereby the GFR back to normal.
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
