Indicate whether the following statements are true or false:
(a) Micturition is carried out by a reflex.
(b) ADH helps in water elimination, making the urine hypotonic.
(c) Protein-free fluid is filtered from blood plasma into the Bowman’s capsule.
(d) Henle’s loop plays an important role in concentrating the urine.
(e) Glucose is actively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.

(a) True
Micturition is carried out by a reflex.
(b) False
ADH helps in water elimination, making the urine hypertonic. Since water moves out of the urine, so urine is concentrated and is called hypertonic urine. We mammals produce hypertonic urine to avoid loss of water.
(c) True
Protein-free fluid is filtered from blood plasma into the Bowman’s capsule.
(d) True
Henle’s loop plays an important role in concentrating the urine.
(e) True
Glucose is actively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
