Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The minor calyx is a structure that collects urine from the distal convoluted tubules of several nephrons, which then merge to form larger structures called major calyces, which eventually merge to form the renal pelvis. The cortex is the outer layer of the kidney where the nephrons are contained, but it does not directly collect urine. The glomerulus is a part of the nephron where filtration of blood occurs, but it does not collect urine. The distal convoluted tubule is a part of the nephron where reabsorption and secretion of molecules occurs, but it does not collect urine from multiple nephrons.
