What else can I help you with?
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.
Which structures drains into the collecting ducts?
Loop of henle
What is the site that drains the distal convulated tubule in the kidney?
The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) in the kidney drains into the collecting duct. The collecting duct then further conducts the filtrate through the renal medulla, where water and solutes can be reabsorbed. This process ultimately leads to the formation of urine, which is collected in the renal pelvis before being excreted from the body.
What part of the nephron drains into the loop of henle?
The proximal convoluted tubule drains into the loop of Henle.
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?
Urea in the blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule, then it travels through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. Urea can be reabsorbed and recycled back into the blood at various points along the nephron.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
The portion of the nephron that empties into a calyx is the?
The collecting tubule
Which is correctGlomerular capsule or Bowman capsule proximal convoluted tubule PCT loop of the nephron OR loop of Henle AND distal convoluted tubule DCT AND collecting duct AND peritubular capillary?
The correct terms are "Bowman's capsule" and "proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)," followed by "loop of Henle," "distal convoluted tubule (DCT)," "collecting duct," and "peritubular capillary." Bowman's capsule is the initial part of the nephron that surrounds the glomerulus, and the PCT is the first segment of the nephron tubule. Each of these structures plays a crucial role in the filtration and reabsorption processes in the kidney.
Is the collecting duct part of a nephron?
Distal Convoluted Tubule
What is the correct order an excreted water molecule moves from glomerulus to collecting duct?
It goes from the glomerulus to the bowman's capsule, to the proximal convoluted tubule, to the loop of henle, to the distal convoluted tubule, to the collecting duct.
What are the anatomical structures of a nephron?
Blood is filtered out of the glomerulus, a "knot" of porous capillaries, into the glomerular capsule. From there the filtrate passes though the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule where the substrate concentration of the filtrate is fine tuned. The distal convoluted tubule empties into a collecting duct but that is generally not considered part of the nephron itself.
