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.

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
The portion of the nephron that is between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules is the?
Loop of Henle
What are the anatomical structures of a nephron?
Blood is filtered out of the glomerulus, a "knot" of porous capillaries, into the glomerular capsule. From there the filtrate passes though the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule where the substrate concentration of the filtrate is fine tuned. The distal convoluted tubule empties into a collecting duct but that is generally not considered part of the nephron itself.
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
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted 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.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a 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.

What is the medical term meaning portion of a nephron that is active in filtering urine?
The Proximal convoluted tubules, descending loop , ascending loop of henle and the distal convoluted tubules. Though the collecting ducts determine the final concentration of urine, an author states that it's not a part of the nephron.
What hormone from the adrenal cortex will cause the distal convoluted tubules to reabsorb more sodium ions?
adh
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.

What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted 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.
