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.

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.
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).
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.
The word "renal" means "of or pertaining to the kidneys."

Renal columns are bands of granular tissue that separate adjacent renal pyramids. They contain vessels and urinary tubes that run to the cortex.

Yes, because the kidneys filter the blood carried by the renal arteries.
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.
Renal failure is the loss of function of the kidneys.
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.

The kidneys, the nephrons specifically, use a process to filter the bloodstream and by use of hormones can filter more of something in case of excess or cease to filter something in case of scarcity. The waste diffuses from the glomerulus which is a bundle of capillaries to the Bowman's capsule, where it is further processed (some returning, some more taking) as it flows through a renal tube and continues down to merge with other renal tubes to merge into a ureter, one on each side of the body, which then continues into the (urinary) bladder.

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).
yes,Renal failure or kidney failure (formerly called renal insufficiency) describes a medical condition in which thekidneys fail to adequately filter toxins and waste products from the blood. The two forms are acute (acute kidney injury) and chronic (chronic kidney disease); a number of other diseases or health problems may cause either form of renal failure to occur.
Tubes in the kidney. I'm not sure what they are called, though.
