renal corpuscle ⇒ proximal convoluted tubule ⇒ nephron loop ⇒ Distal convoluted tubule ⇒ collecting duct ⇒ papillary duct ⇒ minor calyx - major calyx (union of minor calyces) - renal papilla (union of major calyces) ⇒ renal pelvis ⇒ ureter

The nephron's collecting duct is connected to the ureters, serving as a passageway for urine to flow from the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in final urine concentration before the urine enters the ureters. Ultimately, urine moves from the collecting duct into the renal pelvis, and then into the ureters for transport to the bladder.
