<Li> Arginine vasopressin receptor 2 is also expressed in the DCT . </Li> <P> Thiazide diuretics inhibit Na / Cl reabsorption from the DCT by blocking the thiazide - sensitive Na - Cl cotransporter . </P> <P> By inhibiting the transporter, thiazide diuretics increase the gradient potential for Na . This increases the activity of the basolateral Na / Ca antiport and causes the increase in calcium reclamation associated with thiazide diuretics . </P> <P> The DCT is lined with simple cuboidal cells that are shorter than those of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). The lumen appears larger in DCT than the PCT lumen because the PCT has a brush border (microvilli). DCT can be recognized by its numerous mitochondria, basal infoldings and lateral membrane interdigitations with neighboring cells . </P>

Where does the filtrate go from the distal convoluted tubule
