Detailed explanation-2: -The renal tubule anatomy consists of four distinct sections, including the proximal collecting tubule (PCT), loop of Henle, distal collecting tubule (DCT), and the connecting tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -This e-module will describe the main functions of each part of the nephron. It will then describe and differentiate the components of the processes of filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.

Detailed explanation-4: -The renal tubule has 3 components: the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), the Loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
