proximal convoluted tubule in dogs

The proximal convoluted tubule is the most proximal portion of the proximal tubule and extends from the glomerular capsule to the proximal straight tubule. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the proximal convoluted tubule is

The proximal convoluted tubule is the most proximal portion of the proximal tubule and extends from the glomerular capsule to the proximal straight tubule. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the proximal convoluted 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 proximal convoluted tubule connects to

The atlas records 13 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of cortex of kidney and proximal tubule.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the proximal convoluted 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 proximal convoluted renal tubule, tubulus contortus proximalis, 1st convoluted tubule, PCT, first convoluted tubule and kidney proximal convoluted tubule, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the proximal convoluted tubule the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
