Loop of Henle

Distal Conboluted Tubule

Collecting Ducts

Detailed explanation-1: -The last part of a long, twisting tube that collects urine from the nephrons (cellular structures in the kidney that filter blood and form urine) and moves it into the renal pelvis and ureters. Also called renal collecting tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Renal collecting ducts are microscopic passages that connect to multiple nephrons. Tubular fluid passes through the collecting ducts to reach the calyces and renal pelvis. While traveling through the collecting ducts, the composition of tubular fluid undergoes alterations.
Detailed explanation-3: -The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of Henle and the collecting duct system.
Detailed explanation-4: -The distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct is the final site of reabsorption in the nephron.
