Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A):  Ammonia is considered to be a less toxic excretory product compared to urea and uric acid.
Reason (R): Ammonia requires a large amount of water for its elimination due to its high solubility and toxic nature.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A).

Consider the given two statements: 

Assertion (A): Juxtamedullary nephrons are crucial for the process of urine concentration. 
Reason (R): They have longer loops of Henle, which extend deep into the medulla, allowing more effective water reabsorption.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Cortical nephrons differ from juxtamedullary nephrons in that:
1. Cortical nephrons are primarily involved in the filtration of blood.
2. Juxtamedullary nephrons have a longer loop of Henle that extends deep into the medulla.
3. Cortical nephrons are absent in mammals.
4. Juxtamedullary nephrons are not involved in the concentration of urine.

The role of other organs in excretion includes the skin, which:
1. Excretes excess water and salts.
2. Produces bile to aid in digestion.
3. Filters blood to remove urea.
4. Secretes hormones to regulate blood pressure.

How does Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF) oppose the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS)?
1. ANF increases blood pressure and blood volume.
2. ANF causes vasodilation leading to decrease in blood pressure.
3. ANF increases the reabsorption of sodium in the distal convoluted tubule.
4. ANF promotes the secretion of renin from the kidneys.
