The Distal Convoluted Tubule or DCT, acts as a site for selective secretion and reabsorption as water and ions pass between the blood and the filtrate across the tubule membrane. The DCT's are involved in pH Regulation as well as tubular excretion (excretion of Ammonia, Uric Acid, Urea, Creatinine, Hydrogen, antibiotics,and other nitrogenous wastes).Also the distal covulated tubule reabsorve molecules and act whev the body response to loss of water. thank you
The distal convoluted tube is part of the nephron in the kidney. The DCT as it is known filters and diffuses across a membrane much needed materials such as water and ADH. The DCT joins the collecting duct.
You have a pair of kidney in backside of the abdomen. (Retroperitoneal.) This 'small wonder' receive almost 30 % of resting body's blood supply. It filters out 180 liters of fluid/day and reabsorb about 178 liters/ day. From proximal convoluted tubules you get almost 80 % of sodium chloride reabsorbed by 'active process', means by spending energy into it.
absorption of ions, organic molecules, vitamins, and water.
secretion of acids and ammonia
it helps to serve counter current activity at the process of urine formation.
hydrogen carbonate water nutrients and potassium are reabsorbed from the proximal tubule back into the blood while hydrogen and ammonia are secreted from the blood into the proximal tubule
It controls pH by secreting protons and is regulated by aldosterone in the reuptake of sodium and the secretion of potassium. It also reabsorbs calcium ions.

the main function of Distal convoluted tubule, a part of nephron in the kidney is to secrete urine into the calyx of the kidney

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 distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
The distal tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
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.

The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.
Tubular reabsorption takes place in the kidneys. It specifically occurs in nephrons, microscopic tubular structures (Proximal Convoluted Tubule-PRIMARY & Distal Convoluted tubule-SECONDARY) of the kidney that number in the millions.
