Cell Types
Each component of the collecting duct system contains two cell types, intercalated cells and a segment-specific cell type:
- For the connecting tubules, this specific cell type is the connecting tubule cell
- For the collecting ducts, it is the principal cell. The inner medullary collecting ducts contain an additional cell type, called the inner medullary collecting duct cell.
