Identify the correct statements:
I: The flow of filtrate in the two limbs of Henle’s loop is in opposite directions and thus forms a counter current.
II: The flow of blood through the two limbs of vasa recta is also in a counter current pattern.
III: Although there is proximity between the Henle’s loop and vasa recta, yet they do not form a counter current.
