Where does lymph go after it leaves the collecting ducts?
The processed lymph will exit one of the lymph ducts, the right lymph duct or the Thoracic duct, depending on where the lymph came from. When it exists the lymph duct, it will enter the subclavian vein, which is also near the superior vena cava, the final vein before blood enters the heart. The lymph once again a part of the bloodstream. It will once again serve its purpose as tissue fluid. hahaha
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.
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False
What system assists the cardiovascular system by collecting excess tissue fluid?
The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from tissues. The lymph system is a network of organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts, and lymph vessels that make and move lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph system is a major part of the body's immune system.
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
How does the lymph system function?
The lymph system is made up of ducts or tubules that carry lymph to all parts of the body.
What is the function of the lumbar?
The lumbar usually refers to the lower part of the back.
What is the smallest lymphatic vessel?
They are called either lymph ducts or lymph capillaries.
What is the larger and longer of the two lymphatic collecting ducts?
The larger and longer of the two lymphatic collecting ducts is the Thoracic Duct. The other collecting duct is the Right Lymphatic Duct. There are many lymphatic vessels in the body, all of which, like the blood vessels, start as tiny capillaries and gradually get larger as they get nearer to the heart, until they eventually merge into one of the two collecting ducts.
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
What are the vessels from the largest to the smallest?
lymph capillaries, pre-collectors, collectors, lymph trunks or ducts and anchoring filaments
