THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Reabsorption and Secretion in the Distal Convoluted Tubule Approximately 80 percent of filtered water has been recovered by the time the dilute forming urine enters the distal convoluted tubule. The distal convoluted tubule will recover another 10–15 percent before the forming urine enters the collecting ducts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The distal tubule of the mammalian kidney can be defined as the nephron segment between the macula densa region and the cortical collecting tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
