Is the distal convoluted tubule more permeable to water than solutes?

No,
The DCT is impermeable to water.
Solutes (Na and Cl) are absorbed from the DCT.
As a consequence the osmolality of tubular fluid DECREASES as it moves through the distal convoluted tubule, from ~100mOsm/L at it exits the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to around 70mOsm/L as it enters the collecting duct.

The hormone ADH functions to promote water re-abdsorption through the wall of what in the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.The distal convoluted tubule
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 are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
Aldosterone acts on what part of the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule
What area of the nephron is sensitive to the hormone aldosterone?
Distal convoluted tubule
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a 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.
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
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 hormone ADH functions to promote water re-abdsorption through the wall of what in the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.The distal convoluted tubule
What is the roleof anti-diuretichormone (ADH)in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
What is the role of anti diuretichormone (ADH) in the body?
ADH makes the collecting duct & distal convoluted tubule of the nephron more permeable to water
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 finally reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule?
Bicarbonate.
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
What is the section of the renal tubule closest to the glomerular capsule?
The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.
