The removal of proximal convoluted tubule from the nephron results in a lack of reabsorption of high threshold substance from renal tubules and obligatory reabsorption of water is also affected leading to more diluted urine. Since proximal convoluted tubules are mainly associated with reabsorption of much water by osmosis, reabsorption of glucose and amino acids by secondary active transport, and other salts and ions as Na+, K+, vitamins etc., by primary active transport.
Removal of proximal convoluted tubule from the nephron will result in:

2025medium
Choose the correct statement given below regarding juxta medullary nephron.
2024medium
Given below are two statements : Statement I : In the nephron, the descending limb of loop of Henle is impermeable to water and permeable to electrolytes. Statement II : The proximal convoluted tubule is lined by simple columnar brush border epithelium and increases the surface area for reabsorption. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below :
2024medium
Given below are two statements: Statements I: Concentrated urine is formed due to counter current mechanism in nephron. Statement II: Counter current mechanism helps to maintain osmotic gradient in the medullary interstitium.
