The short tubes receiving urine from the renal pyramids are called collecting ducts. These ducts gather urine from multiple nephrons and transport it to the renal pelvis, where it then flows into the ureter. Collecting ducts play a crucial role in water reabsorption and the concentration of urine, influenced by hormones like antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
What else can I help you with?
Mucoprotein excreted by the epithelial cells of the renal tubes?
Casts
How many tubes do you see protruding from kidney?
Typically, there are two main tubes that protrude from each kidney: the ureters. These tubes transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. In addition, blood vessels such as the renal artery and renal vein also connect to the kidneys, but they are not considered tubes for urine transport.
What is the papillary duct and what do they empty in to?
Papillary ducts are narrow tubes in the kidney that merge to form the renal papilla. They empty urine into the renal calyces within the renal sinus.
What do renal tubes filter?
Renal tubules in the kidney filter waste products, excess ions, and water from the blood to form urine. This process helps in regulating the body's fluid balance and eliminating toxins from the body.
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.
What is the function of renal column?
Renal columns are bands of granular tissue that separate adjacent renal pyramids. They contain vessels and urinary tubes that run to the cortex.

The renal pelvis is divided in small tubes?
The renal pelvis is not divided into small tubes. It is a funnel-shaped structure in the kidney that collects urine from the calyces and transports it to the ureter for excretion. The calyces are the structures that are divided into smaller tubes within the kidney.
Where is the renal system located?
The renal or urinary system, comprising the kidneys, bladder and connecting tubes, is located in the back of the abdomen (kidneys) and inside the pelvis near the groin (bladder, urethra). The bladder is connected to the kidneys via a pair of tubes called ureters.
What things in the world are hexagonal based pyramids?
Honeycomb cells, Buckminster fullerene tubes.
What parts of the kidney?
The outer, reddish region, next to the capsule, is the renal cortex. This surrounds a darker reddish-brown region called the renal medulla. The renal medulla consists of a series of renal pyramids, which appear striated because they contain straight tubular structures and blood vessels. The wide bases of the pyramids are adjacent to the cortex and the pointed ends, called renal papillae, are directed toward the center of the kidney. Portions of the renal cortex extend into the spaces between adjacent pyramids to form renal columns. The cortex and medulla make up the parenchyma, or functional tissue, of the kidney. The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus and is continuous with the ureter. The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. The periphery of the renal pelvis is interrupted by cuplike projections called calyces. A minor calyx surrounds the renal papillae of each pyramid and collects urine from that pyramid. Several minor calyces converge to form a major calyx. From the major calyces the urine flows into the renal pelvis and from there into the ureter.Each kidney contains over a million functional units, called nephrons, in the parenchyma (cortex and medulla). The nephrons make up the bulk of the kidney tissue and join up with larger collecting tubes that eventually form the main urine-carrying duct - the ureter Each kidney has an indentation, called the hilum, on the medial side. The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum.Malphigian body can be further divided into glomerulus and bowman's capsule,whereas renal tubules can be divided into proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting tubule.
