nephron tubule in dogs

An epithelial tube that is part of the nephron, the functional part of the kidney. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the nephron tubule is

An epithelial tube that is part of the nephron, the functional part of the kidney. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the nephron tubule is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the urinary system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the nephron tubule connects to

The atlas records 24 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of nephron.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the nephron tubule. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as renal tubule, kidney tubule, tubulus renalis and uriniferous tubule. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
