This is in the kidney and it mainly controls how much or little water is kept in the body
The distal tubule
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
The ions that are secreted by the distal convoluted tubule are potassium ions. These are secreted to better control the levels of potassium and sodium.
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
- proximal tubule : • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport. • Within proximal tubule, pH is controlled by secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32). - distal tubule • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport. Distal tubule helps regulate potassium (K1) and salt (NaCl) concentration of body fluids. • As in proximal tubule, pH is controlled by tubular secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32).
collecting duct (system) and late distal 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.
Bicarbonate.
Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct in the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion.
