nouna small tubetype of:
Definition that contains tubule
- trachea one of the tubules forming the respiratory system of most insects and many arachnids
- epididymis a convoluted tubule in each testis; carries sperm to vas deferens
- vasopressin hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules
- uveoscleral pathway a tubule that drains excess aqueous humor
- antidiuretic hormone hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules
- centrosome small region of cytoplasm adjacent to the nucleus; contains the centrioles and serves to organize the microtubules
- renal cortex the cortex of the kidney containing the glomeruli and the convoluted tubules
- sertoli cell elongated cells found in the seminiferous tubules of the testis; apparently they nourish the spermatids
- vasa efferentia the several highly convoluted tubules that lead from the rete testis to the vas deferens and form the head of the epididymis
- central body small region of cytoplasm adjacent to the nucleus; contains the centrioles and serves to organize the microtubules
