Where are all the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the kidney located?
If you are talking about the proximal/distal convoluted tubules. Then you are talking about a kidney, and in between them is the nephron loop or the Loop of Henle
Aldosterone acts on what part of the kidney?
distal convoluted 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 area of the nephron is the site of hydrogen ion excretion?
Hydrogen ion excretion is the result of standard kidney (nephron) function, when processing fluids in the body. This is done at the bottom of the kidneys.
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 is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
what kidney cells perform a secretary function?
Nephrons are the basic unit of the kidney that produce urine. Their processes involve filtration, reabsorption and secretion in different places. The main part of the nephron that is involved with secretion is the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). There is very little secretion in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). Usually when you refer to secretion in the nephron, it will be in the DCT.

Why we can't see the glumerular capsules convoluted tubules kidney loops or collecting ducts individually?
glomerular,capsules,Convoluted tubules ,kidney loops are the parts of Nephron... Nephron is the basic unit of a kidney.... group of nephrons constitute the kidney.. so you can't see all of them as individuals... I think you may have got your answer... Thanks.
Is ADH a steroid or non steroid?
It is a steroid. It is an antidiuretic hormone increases the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the kidney nephron resulting in less water in the urine. The urine becomes more concentrated as water is conserved.
Where does most absorption take place in the kidney?
the majority occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule
Which part of the kidney is reabsorption dependent upon the body's needs at the time and regulated by hormones?
Distal convoluted tubule
What sequence shows the correct path of urine through the excretory system?
Only using the following: bladder, calix, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, glomerular capsule, glomerulus, nephron loop, proximal convoluted tubule, renal artery, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra, urethral meatus.
Where does glucose reabsorption occur in the nephron?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
What is the function of bowman capsule?
The Bowman's Capsule is part of a Nephron, which would be found in the Kidney. It's function is to collect the filtrate from the Glomerulus, passing it on to the Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT's); subsequently, to the rest of the Nephron.
