The last section of the renal tubule is the:
|
|
Proximal convoluted tubule
|
|
|
Nephron Loop
|
|
|
Loop of Henle
|
|
|
Distal convoluted tubule
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting duct (CD) are the final two segments of the kidney nephron. They have an important role in the absorption of many ions, and in water reabsorption. The distal convoluted tubule can be subdivided into the early and late sections, each with their own functions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of Henle and the collecting tubule.
Detailed explanation-3: -proximal convoluted tubule (red: found in the renal cortex) loop of Henle (blue: mostly in the medulla) distal convoluted tubule (purple: found in the renal cortex) collecting tubule (black: in the medulla)
