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
- central body small region of cytoplasm adjacent to the nucleus; contains the centrioles and serves to organize the microtubules
- sertoli's cell elongated cells found in the seminiferous tubules of the testis; apparently they nourish the spermatids
- rete testis network of tubules carrying sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the vasa efferentia
- cytoskeleton a microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence
- microtubule a microscopically small tubule
- uriniferous tubule any of the small tubules that are the excretory units of the vertebrate kidney
- adh 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
