papillary ducts to minor calyces, these join becoming major calyces, these unite to form the renal pelvis, then on to the ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, toilet

Which structures drains into the collecting ducts?
Loop of henle
Does diuretics work on the collecting ducts?
Diuretics work in the region of the collecting ducts, but on the ducts themselves. They inhibit ADH from causing water to be reabsorbed in the distal tubules and that produces more urine output.
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.
What is the funnel shaped basin that collects urine from the collecting ducts called?
renal pelvis
In the kidney the ducts from the nephrons empty immediately into the?
The collecting ducts from the nephrons empty immediately into the renal pelvis or pyelum. The renal pelvis is part of the ureter that collects urine.
What portion of the kidney produces urine?
The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.
What structures drains into the collecting tubule?
which of the following structures drains into the collecting tubule
How would problems in the collecting ducts of the nephrons cause kidney failure?
The collecting ducts are a series of small tubes inside the kidneys that funnel urine into therenal pelvis for drainage into the ureter. Once in the ureter, the urine can be pushed into the bladder for elimination. The structure of the kidneys is quite complex and includes a large number of these tubes in an interconnected drainage system. People with urinary tract disorders can potentially develop problems along part of the collecting ducts, and a kidney collecting duct issue can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating and edema.
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False
What is the function of the urteres?
The ureters are the collecting ducts for urine in the kidneys that transport urine to the bladder.
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
What is reabsorbed in the collecting ducts of the kidneys?
yes
