The maximum amount of water from the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in the nephron by:
1. Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)
2. Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
3. Loop of Henle – ascending limb

Consider the given two statements regarding the mechanism of increasing medullary interstitium osmolarity when kidney is trying to produce concentrated urine:
Statement I: NaCl is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is exchanged with the descending limb of vasa recta.
Statement II: NaCl is returned to the interstitium by the ascending portion of vasa recta.
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
4. Statement I is incorrect: Statement II is incorrect

The main function of aldosterone in Renin-Angiotensin mechanism is:
1. It converts angiotensinogen in blood to angiotensin I.
2. It is a powerful vasodilator.
3. It causes reabsorption of Na+ and water from the distal parts of the tubule.
4. It activate the JG cells to release rennin.
