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
- seminiferous tubule any of the numerous long convoluted tubules in the testis which are the sites where spermatozoa mature
- pitressin 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
- nephron any of the small tubules that are the excretory units of the vertebrate kidney
- 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
