The medical term for circular muscle found in tubular structures that regulates the passage of substances is "sphincter." Sphincters act as valves to control the flow of fluids or materials through tubular structures in the body.
Exocrine glands classified as compound tubular have a branched duct system and secretory portions that consist of tubular structures. This type of gland is responsible for producing and secreting substances such as mucus, digestive enzymes, and sweat. Examples of compound tubular exocrine glands include salivary glands and gastric glands.
From the esophagus to the anus, the digestive is basically a tube very similar to other tubular organs in the body. All such tubular organs are composed of several tissue layers arranged around a lumen. In a "generic" tubular organ, these layers are as follows (from the lumen to the ablumenal layer).
The grasshopper has an open circulatory system which consists of 7 tubular hearts, which are actually valved chambers. These chambers circulate haemolymph, which is the body fluid in a grasshopper's body cavities and appendages.
A tubular laborer is a term used in the oil and gas industry to describe a worker who specializes in the handling and installation of tubular components such as pipes and casings on drilling rigs. These workers are responsible for ensuring the proper assembly and disassembly of tubular structures during drilling operations.
Peristalsis is a rhythmic contraction of a tubular organ, such as the intestines or esophagus, to propel its contents along the length of the organ. This coordinated muscular movement helps move food, liquid, or waste through the digestive or urinary system.
The grasshopper has an open circulatory system which consists of 7 tubular hearts, which are actually valved chambers. These chambers circulate haemolymph, which is the body fluid in a grasshopper's body cavities and appendages.
The formal term for "guts" in a biological context is "intestines," which refers to the digestive tract's tubular structures. In a colloquial sense, "guts" can also refer to courage or bravery, but the anatomical term specifically denotes the internal organs involved in digestion.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a fine network of tubular structures that crisscross the cellular cytoplasm. It plays a key role in protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and calcium storage within the cell.
Peristalsis does not occur in the stomach. While the stomach does have muscular contractions for churning and mixing food, these movements are not classified as peristalsis. Peristalsis is primarily associated with the esophagus, intestines, and other tubular structures in the digestive system, where it facilitates the movement of food and waste.
