What is tubular excretion?
Very generally, excretion is the removal of substance from the body (micturition or defecation are good examples). Tubular excretion is probably referring to excretion of (filtrate, now urine) from the collecting duct of a nephron. Beyond the collecting duct, almost no secretion or absorption occurs, hence all substrate is excreted (NOT the same as secreted).
What is the terminal part of the nephron?
Papillary duct or DCT The thing in this question that stands out to me is "part of the nephron". Actually the parts of a nephron only include renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tuble, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule. I would a say the answer, if you read it the way I am taking it, is DCT. The papillary duct does follow the DCT but is not part of the nephron.
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.
The---- is the terminal part of the nephron?
Papillary Duct
What is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting duct?
The distal convoluted tubule is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting ducts. It is the last segment of the nephron.
What is the liquid stored in the collecting duct of a nephron?
Urine
Is the collecting duct part of a nephron?
Distal Convoluted Tubule
Is the collecting duct in the nephron a tube?
Yes, a very small one.
What part of the nephron is connected to the ureters?
collecting duct is connected to the ureters.
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
The sequence of structures that urea passes through in the nephron is?
A nephron is composed of the Bowman's capsule, the proximal tubule, the loop of the nephron (called the loop of Henle), the distal tubule, and the collecting duct.

What is the roleof anti-diuretichormone (ADH)in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is the role of anti diuretichormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is the role of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
