dRTA (distal renal tubular acidosis) results from the failure of the a-intercalated cells in the distal tubule of the nephron to acidify the urine.
Distal tubule
The distal tubule is similar to the proximal tubule. Salt is pumped out and water follows by osmosis. After travelling through the distal tubule, only 3% of water remains, and the remaining salt content is negligible.
Distal Radioulnar Articulation (articulatio radioulnaris distalis; inferior radioulnar joint)."This is a pivot-joint formed between the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch on the lower end of the radius.
distal tubule The section of the renal tubule where tubular secretion occurs.
divergent evolution The divergence of a single interbreeding population or species into two or more descendant species.
distal - away from the point of attachment (Glossary of PM)
diurnal - active during the day time
domesticate - human management of animals or plants to adapt them to serve human needs ...
distal
Farthest from the body in any structure, or farthest from the center of the system concerned. For example, the finger is at the distal end of the human arm.
Distal convoluted tubule
The distal convoluted tubule is not similar to the proximal convoluted tubule in structure and function. Cells lining the tubule have numerous mitochondria to produce enough energy (ATP) for active transport to take place.
distal cytoplasm Distal cytoplasmic layer in the tegument of Monogenea, Digenea, and Cestoidea.
distillation Boiling of a liquid to evaporation and subsequent condensation of the vapors for the purposes of purification and concentration.

The high resolution map of chromosome 5 at JGI/LBNL began at the distal portion of the long arm.
The most distal piece of this most distal clone is then used as a probe, so that ever more distal regions can be cloned. This has been used to move as much as 200 kb away from a given starting point (an immense undertaking).
For example 2 gene loci that map to the distal and proximal locations on the long arm of chromosome 1 respectively would not be linked but would exhibit synteny. Alos called genome collinearity.

Fluid flows through the proximal tubule, which include the loop of Henle, and then into the distal tubule. The distal tubule empties into a collecting duct. Fluids and solutes are returned to the capillaries that surround the nephron tubule.

An adrenal hormone that acts on the distal tubules of the kidney to stimulate the reabsorption of sodium (Na+) and the passive flow of water from the filtrate.

What we found was that there were similar coordinates that told where the position was in an antennae, in a leg, and there was the same general properties that told anterior from posterior, back and front and proximal and distal in the appendage.
Refers to the presence of 2 or more loci on the same chromosome; they may or may not be linked closely. For example 2 gene loci that map to the distal and proximal locations on the long arm of chromosome 1 respectively would not be linked but would ...
Domain: Region of a protein with a distinct tertiary structure and characteristic activity (for example, the membrane distal and membrane proximal domains of an MHC molecule).
