What is the central collecting region in the kidney called?
The individual units of the kidney, called nephrons, produce urine and empty into structures called collecting ducts. Many nephrons empty into a single collecting duct. Similarly, many collecting ducts empty into a minor calyx. Minor calyces empty into a major calyx, and the major calyces empty into the singular renal pelvis (each kidney has a single pelvis). The renal pelvis empties into the ureter.

Function of the collecting duct of the kidneys?
The collecting duct system is the final component of the kidney to influence the body's electrolyte and fluid balance. In humans, the system accounts for 4-5 percent of the kidney's reabsorption of sodium and 5% of the kidney's reabsorption of water. At times of extreme dehydration, over 24% of the filtered water may be reabsorbed in the collecting duct system. Basically, it collects the urine that a nephron (a unit of kidney that filters) filters.
Which part of the kidney has a lined appearance due to multiple collecting ducts extending through it?
medulla
What is the region of the kidney deep to cortex contains collecting duct?
Renal cortex
What is the term for the entire functional structure unit of the kidney from glomerulus through collecting tubule?
