A tube that receives urine from the distal convoluted tubule?
Collecting duct
What is distal ureteral stone?
at the far end (distal) of the ureter (the tube through which one pees) the ureter is the tube between the kidney and the bladder.....the urethra is the tube that removes urine from the body ( the tube you pee thru)
What us the primary function of the distal convoluted tubule?
The Distal Convoluted Tubule or DCT, acts as a site for selective secretion and reabsorption as water and ions pass between the blood and the filtrate across the tubule membrane. The DCT's are involved in pH Regulation as well as tubular excretion (excretion of Ammonia, Uric Acid, Urea, Creatinine, Hydrogen, antibiotics,and other nitrogenous wastes).Also the distal covulated tubule reabsorve molecules and act whev the body response to loss of water. thank you
What is the tube after the Bowman's capsule?
proximal convulated tubule
A tube formed by the inward extension of the cell membrane is called a?
Sieve tube
A tube that receives urine from the distal convoluted tubule?
Collecting duct
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What is the medical term meaning Microscopic tube where urine is formed?
It is the nephron, the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys. Its main job is to regulate waste and filter the blood and excrete toxins via urine.the microscopic tube where urine is formed is called the nephron. They are located in the kidneys.renal tubulesIt's a complex answer. Urine is formed in the kidneys in cellular structures known as "renal parenchyma". Urine is the filtrate of blood traversing the microscopic pathways from the glomerulus to the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convuluted tubule which is where the final condensed urine is collected.I'm afraid the answer is not as straightforward as your question. At the beginning, urine filtrate is filtered out of the blood through a knot of capillaries called the glomerulus into an encapsulated space called the glomerular capsule. From there, the filtrate passes through a couple of tubes. The first is the proximal convoluted tubule where many of the things that were filtered out are reabsorbed back into the blood. Then the urine filtrate passes through the loop of Henle which primarily acts to reabsorb salt. This regulates our blood sodium levels and helps determine the concentration of our urine. Finally the urine filtrate passes through the distal convoluted tubule where even more refinement of the content of urine is performed. Finally, the urine will drain into a collecting duct which will drain into the calyces and eventually the ureters to the bladder.the urethra transports urine from the bladder to the end of the penis.the nephrons

What does the kidney distal tube do?
You have two kidneys, and each kidney has only onetube that goes to the bladder. If you count both kidneys, then there are two tubes leading to the bladder.
Nephron tube where nutrients are reabsorbed?
The Nephron is the functional unit of the Kidney which regulates blood contents NOT urine contents. It works by filtering out much of the contents of the blood from the Glomerulus into Bowmans Capsule. From here the a long tubule projects and is followed by a blood vessel (the Efferent Capillary) which reabsorbs much of the nutriens, what isn't reabsorbed goes into the Urine via a Collecting Duct. There are three parts to the nephron, the Proximal Convoluted Tubule, the Loop of Henle and the Distal Convoluted Tubule. The loop of Henle is mostly involved in the reabsorbtion of water with the use of salts. The majority of nutrients reabsorbtion takes place is the proximal convoluted tubule. It should be noted that although the nephron is very efficient (it reabsorbs 90% of the water if need be) it also reabsorbs about 50% of the urea so it is incorrect to think that it all goes straight into the urine. In short, to answer you question, most nutrients are reabsorbed in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule.

What is a distal uretal calculus?
A distal uretal calculus is a kidney stone that has either moved to or developed just above the bladder in one of the tubes that brings urine down from the kidneys. This is a dangerous situation because the stone is hard a jagged and if it cuts through the tube, called the ureter, it can be potentially fatal.

Sieve tube
What happens if a potato tubule is placed in a test tube with water?
sprouts will grow from the potato tubule and grow more potatoes..... weird huh?
What is the structure in the kidneys that conveys the processed urine to the renal pelvis?
Blood enters any of the kidney's numerous nephrons and is filtered through glomerulus in the glomerular capsule (also called the Bowman's capsule) after which the fluid travels through the renal tubule (consisting of the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, then distal convoluted tubule), where crucial nutrients are reabsorbed into the bloodstream, before finally becoming fully concentrated in the collecting ducts. The collecting ducts then empty out to the renal pelvis.
