DCT

Loop of Henle

Collecting Duct

Explanation:
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: -At the end of the distal convoluted tubule, the filtrate empties into collecting ducts, where it combines with filtrate from other nephrons. Collecting ducts move back into the medulla, which is salty, so more water leaves through passive diffusion.
