Describe the structures of the collecting system
What will be an ideal response?
The main structures of the collecting system are the collecting duct and papillary duct. The collecting system is a series of tubes that carry tubular fluid away from the nephron. The collecting duct, composed of intercalated cells and principal cells, carries tubular fluid through the osmotic gradient in the renal medulla. The papillary duct collects tubular fluid from multiple collecting ducts and delivers it to a minor calyx.
