Fluid passes from the top of the ascending limb of loop of Henlé to a short distal convoluted tubule. Active transport is used to adjust the concentration of various salts. The collecting duct carries the fluid through the medulla to the pelvis. The tissue fluid in the medulla has a low water potential so water moves out of the collecting ducts by osmosis.About 1.5 to 2.0 dm3 of urine reach the pelvis each day. The walls of the collecting duct have membrane-bound receptors for ADH. ADH binds to receptors causing enzyme controlled reactions which insert water-permeable channels or aquaporins into the cell membranes allowing more water to be reabsorbed. When there is less ADH the channels are removed by infolding of the membrane.
