The collecting duct system is the final component of the kidney to influence the body's electrolyte and fluid balance. In humans, the system accounts for 4-5 percent of the kidney's reabsorption of sodium and 5% of the kidney's reabsorption of water. At times of extreme dehydration, over 24% of the filtered water may be reabsorbed in the collecting duct system. Basically, it collects the urine that a nephron (a unit of kidney that filters) filters.

What is the correct order an excreted water molecule moves from glomerulus to collecting duct?
It goes from the glomerulus to the bowman's capsule, to the proximal convoluted tubule, to the loop of henle, to the distal convoluted tubule, to the collecting duct.
What is the process called to block a pipe between kidney and gald bladder?
There is no pipe between the kidney and gall bladder. The gall bladder forms the cystic duct which then forms the common bile duct which enters the duodenum (small intestine). The kidneys only attach to the ureters and to the renal arteries/renal veins. Im not sure if youre talking about gall stones or kidney stones, but the removal of the gall bladder is a cholecystectomy
What are the major parts of uninary system and their function?
The major parts of the urinary system are the Kidneys and bladder. The most important is the kidneys. The kidneys clean waste from the blood of a living organism and uses little water to help remove these wastes, sending the waste to the bladder and waiting for the release through the urethra. Another thing is that without the circulatory system the blood would not be able to be sent to the kidneys. For health reasons, try to not consume to much salts and minerals or the it is possible to get kidney failure. Hope this helps.
