Collecting duct system
text:
The collecting duct system of the kidney consists of a series of tubules and ducts that physically connect nephrons to a minor calyx or directly to the renal pelvis. The collecting duct participates in electrolyte and fluid balance through reabsorption and excretion, processes regulated by the hormones aldosterone and vasopressin. There are several components of the collecting duct system, including the connecting tubules, cortical collecting ducts, and medullary collecting ducts.
