What is the funnel shaped basin that collects urine from the collecting ducts called?
renal pelvis
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
What happen to urine volume if you did not add ADH to the collecting duct?
I think the urine volume will significantly increase. The less water reabsorbed, the more urine will be formed.
What is the function of the urteres?
The ureters are the collecting ducts for urine in the kidneys that transport urine to the bladder.
The hormone that signals that kidneys to make less urine is?
ADH is the hormone regulate the volume of urine. It is produced by the hypothalamus. It secreted by anterior pituitary.
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.
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.
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
What portion of the kidney produces urine?
The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.
What happen to urine volume if you did not add ADH to the collecting duct?
I think the urine volume will significantly increase. The less water reabsorbed, the more urine will be formed.
From the collecting ducts urine drains into the?
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
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.
The hormone that signals that kidneys to make less urine is?
ADH is the hormone regulate the volume of urine. It is produced by the hypothalamus. It secreted by anterior pituitary.
What is the medical term meaning portion of a nephron that is active in filtering urine?
The Proximal convoluted tubules, descending loop , ascending loop of henle and the distal convoluted tubules. Though the collecting ducts determine the final concentration of urine, an author states that it's not a part of the nephron.
