Question

The calyces receive urine from the
A) proximal convoluted tubule.
B) collecting ducts.
C) glomeruli.
D) peritubular capillaries.

Accepted Answer

The calyces receive urine from the collecting ducts, which have collected urine from the distal convoluted tubules of multiple nephrons. The proximal convoluted tubules and glomeruli are earlier structures in the nephron and do not directly empty into the calyces. The peritubular capillaries are involved in reabsorption and secretion within the nephron, but do not directly contribute to urine flow into the calyces.
