collecting duct of renal tubule in dogs

The collecting duct is a portion of the nephron through which water flows, moving passively down its concentration gradient. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the collecting duct of renal tubule is

The collecting duct is a portion of the nephron through which water flows, moving passively down its concentration gradient. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the collecting duct of renal tubule is

What the collecting duct of renal tubule connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of kidney, nephron and renal collecting system, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the collecting duct of renal tubule. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
