The main site of filtration in the kidney is the glomerulus (a network of capillaries) and Bowman's capsule (a cup - shaped structure that surrounds the glomerulus). Together, they form the renal corpuscle. The collecting duct is mainly involved in water reabsorption and concentration of urine. The renal tubule is involved in reabsorption and secretion after the initial filtration.
