The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
The distal tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and 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.
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.
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.
The parts of a nephron in order are the renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.
Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct in the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion.
In the renal tubule, glucose and water are primarily reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). Approximately 100% of glucose and a significant portion of water are reabsorbed here through active transport and osmotic processes, respectively. The reabsorption continues in the loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule, but the majority occurs in the PCT. This process helps maintain glucose levels and fluid balance in the body.
Distal Convoluted Tubule
Urea in the blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule, then it travels through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. Urea can be reabsorbed and recycled back into the blood at various points along the nephron.
