túbulos uriníferos
Scope note: Son largos conductos que salen de la cápsula de Bowman (CÁPSULA GLOMERULAR). La porción inicial al corpúsculo renal se denomina túbulo contorneado proximal por seguir un curso tortuoso. Después el túbulo se endereza y forma el ASA DE HENLE que toma un curso recto hacia el centro del riñón, haciendo un giro en forma de horquilla y volviendo en línea recta hacia su correspondiente corpúsculo renal. Es ahora que forma el túbulo contorneado distal, el cual se continúa con el túbulo colector. Seis o siete túbulos colectores confluyen formando los conductos papilares de Bellini que abocan a la superficie de las papilas renales. (Netter, F.H..Riñones, Uréteres y V. Urinaria.

Scope note: Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.
