Detailed explanation-1: -The filtrate flows from the proximal tubule and into the Loop of Henle. The loop of Henle concentrates the filtrate, by removing more water from it, and passes it to the distal tubule. From the distal tubule it travels to the collecting duct-now called urine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts are then largely responsible for reabsorbing water as required to produce urine at a concentration that maintains body fluid homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Filtrate moves from Bowman’s capsule to the proximal tubule and into the loop of Henle, which dives into the renal medulla before returning to the renal cortex. From the loop of Henle, filtrate is transferred to the distal tubule and into the collecting duct, where it travels into the renal medulla for collection.
