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.

Asked in Human Anatomy and Physiology
How is urea reabsorbed?
40-50 % of filtered urea is reabsorbed through passive diffusion
in the Proximal Convoluted Tubules. Loop of Henle, Distal
Convoluted Tubules and Cortical Collecting Ducts are impermeable to
urea. But secretion of urea happens in descending Loop of Henle
(This helps to maintain the osmotic gradient in the medulla of the
Kidney). There is also re-absorption of urea in the medullary
collecting ducts.

Asked in Kidneys
What tubules of the kidney?
Tubules are the tubes running through each little (microscopic)
nephrons within each kidney that aid in filtering and collecting of
the waste products, and then depending on how much water is in the

your electrolyte balance. :-D

How does antidiuretic hormone regulate water balance?
It stimulates water channels to be inserted into the collecting
tubules in the nephrons that make up the kidney. This increases the
kidney's ability to reabsorb water instead of excreting it.
