  name | metanephric collecting duct development |
  namespace | biological_process |
  def | "The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a collecting duct in the metanephros over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The collecting duct responds to vasopressin and aldosterone to regulate water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. The collecting duct is the final common path through which urine flows before entering the ureter and then emptying into the bladder." [GOC:mtg_kidney_jan10] |
