What else can I help you with?
What structures drains into the collecting tubule?
which of the following structures drains into the collecting tubule
From the collecting ducts urine drains into the?
papillary ducts to minor calyces, these join becoming major calyces, these unite to form the renal pelvis, then on to the ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, toilet
Striped appearing structures formed primarily of collecting ducts?
The striped looking structures that collect ducts is called medullary pyramids. This structure is the content of the ventral part of medulla oblongata.
What transports urine from nephron to minor calyces?
Urine is transported from the nephron to the minor calyces through the collecting ducts in the kidney. These ducts receive urine from multiple nephrons and transport it to the renal pelvis, where it ultimately drains into the ureters for elimination from the body.
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
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.
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
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.
What forms the collecting ducts converge as they extend toward the calyces?
The collecting ducts converge to form larger ducts known as papillary ducts. These papillary ducts then empty urine into the renal calyces, which are part of the renal pelvis where urine collects before being drained into the ureters.
Renal pyramids are?
collecting ducts and uriniferous tubules
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.
