Explain Collecting Duct or Tubules - Structures of a Nephron
Collecting Duct/Tubules: A long straight portion after the distal tubule is the open end of the nephron. It extends from the cortex down through the medulla. These are responsible for collecting urine from DCT of the nephron and passing it to the renal pelvis. These are also of two types, proximal straight tubule and distal straight tubule.
