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 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.


The portion of the nephron that empties into a calyx is the?

The collecting tubule


What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?

The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.


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.


Do secretion usually occur in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting tubule?

Secretion typically occurs in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting tubule of the nephron. These segments of the nephron are responsible for actively transporting substances like ions, drugs, and waste products from the blood into the tubular fluid to be excreted in the urine.


What factor is responsible for the increase in the permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water?

Increase in permeability of the cells of the collecting tubule to water is due to an increase in the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Aquaporins are constant components of the tubule cells membranes. Unless ADH is present, aquaporins are virtually absent in the luminal membranes of the collecting duct.A decrease in the concentration of the blood plasma
