What else can I help you with?
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
What is reabsorbed in the collecting ducts of the kidneys?
yes
What collecting ducts converge as they extend toward the calyces forming the renal?
The collecting ducts that converge as they extend toward the calyces are primarily the ducts of Bellini, which are the terminal segments of the collecting system in the kidney. These ducts collect urine from multiple nephrons and transport it into the renal pelvis, where it then moves to the ureter. The convergence of these ducts plays a crucial role in concentrating urine and regulating water balance in the body.
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.
Which structures drains into the collecting ducts?
Loop of henle
Renal pyramids are?
collecting ducts and uriniferous tubules
What substance directly controls the reabsorption of water from the collecting ducts?
The antidiuretic hormone is the substance that directly controls the reabsorption of water from the collecting ducts. It is also known as vasopressin.
What do the walls of the collecting ducts have variable permeability to?
The walls of the collecting ducts have variable permeability to water and urea. This allows the kidneys to adjust the concentration of urine depending on the body's hydration levels.
Where do the collecting ducts of the renal tubules drain?
The collecting ducts of the renal tubules drain into the renal pelvis, which is the central part of the kidney. From the renal pelvis, urine flows into the ureter and is transported to the bladder for storage before eventual excretion. The collecting ducts play a crucial role in concentrating urine and regulating water balance in the body.
Where do the ureters lead to?
They some what lead to the collecting ducts which ducks that collect.
What does collecting ducts converging as they extend toward the calyces form?
pevis
Lymph drainage from collecting ducts enters what vein?
lymph drainage ducts enters what veins?
