Detailed explanation-1: -The renal tubule can be divided into three major segments: the proximal tubule, including the proximal convoluted tubule and the proximal straight tubule (Fig. 4.3. 13B), the loop of Henle, including the thin descending and ascending limb and the thick ascending limb (Fig. 4.3.
Detailed explanation-2: -The renal tubule extends from the capsule. The capsule and tubule are connected and are composed of epithelial cells with a lumen. A healthy adult has 1 to 1.5 million nephrons in each kidney.
Detailed explanation-3: -proximal convoluted tubule (found in the renal cortex) loop of Henle (mostly in the medulla) distal convoluted tubule (found in the renal cortex) collecting tubule (in the medulla) collecting duct (in the medulla)
