What does ADH make the kidneys do?
Increases how much water the collecting ducts in the kidney reabsorb.
Which part of the kidney has a lined appearance due to multiple collecting ducts extending through it?
medulla
What is the central collecting region in the kidney called?
The individual units of the kidney, called nephrons, produce urine and empty into structures called collecting ducts. Many nephrons empty into a single collecting duct. Similarly, many collecting ducts empty into a minor calyx. Minor calyces empty into a major calyx, and the major calyces empty into the singular renal pelvis (each kidney has a single pelvis). The renal pelvis empties into the ureter.
In the kidney the ducts from the nephrons empty immediately into the?
The collecting ducts from the nephrons empty immediately into the renal pelvis or pyelum. The renal pelvis is part of the ureter that collects urine.
What portion of the kidney produces urine?
The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.
How would problems in the collecting ducts of the nephrons cause kidney failure?
The collecting ducts are a series of small tubes inside the kidneys that funnel urine into therenal pelvis for drainage into the ureter. Once in the ureter, the urine can be pushed into the bladder for elimination. The structure of the kidneys is quite complex and includes a large number of these tubes in an interconnected drainage system. People with urinary tract disorders can potentially develop problems along part of the collecting ducts, and a kidney collecting duct issue can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating and edema.
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
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.
What is reabsorbed in the collecting ducts of the kidneys?
yes
Can you have blocked milk ducts when not pregnant?
absoluetly!
What are the layers of the kidney?
Cortex- outer kidney region that is composed of glomeruli, Bowman's capsule and proximal/distal convoluted tubules Medulla- inner kidney region that is composed of collecting ducts and the Loops of Henle Pyramids-con-shaped areas of the medulla; contains the Loops of Henle and the collecting ducts Pelvis- expanded upper end of the ureter; the kidney branches called calyces open into it Calyx- receives urine from the collecting ducts and directs the urine into the pelvis Capsule- connective tissue covering of the kidney
What is the function calyx in kidney?
These ducts are tubules and ducts that connect the nephrons to the ureter.
