What is the final part of the renal tubule before opening into the renal pelvis?
Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)
Henle's Loop
Collecting Duct
Medullary Pyramid
Solution
The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube called the collecting duct, many of which converge and open into the renal pelvis through medullary pyramids in the calyces.
