Explanation / Answer

Collecting ducts: Carry urine to the renal pelvis

Distal convoluted tubule: its cells have many mitochondria but lack microvilli, it is specialized for ion exchange

Glomerular capsule: site of a filtration process that produces a filtrate of the blood

Loop of the nephron/Loop of Henle: The U turn in the proximal convoluted tubule, allows water to diffuse into the tissues surrounding the nephron and actively transports salt from its lumen to interstitial tissue.

Proximal convoluted tubule: the cells of this structure have microvilli, which increases the surface area for tubular reabsorption.
