Typically, there are two main tubes that protrude from each kidney: the ureters. These tubes transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. In addition, blood vessels such as the renal artery and renal vein also connect to the kidneys, but they are not considered tubes for urine transport.
Yes, EDTA tubes contain plasma. When blood is collected in EDTA tubes, the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) acts as an anticoagulant, preventing the blood from clotting. After centrifugation, the liquid portion above the formed cellular elements is plasma, which can be used for various laboratory tests.
Kidneys: Filter waste and excess substances from the blood to form urine. Ureters: Tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Bladder: Stores urine until it is ready to be excreted from the body. Urethra: Tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
Yes, glass evacuated tubes are collected in the same order of draw as plastic tubes to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate test results. The standard order typically begins with sterile tubes, followed by those for coagulation studies, serum tests, and then tubes containing additives. This consistent protocol helps maintain the integrity of the samples and the reliability of laboratory analysis.
Blood vessels such as arteries, veins, and capillaries are the tubes that carry blood throughout the body. Other tubes include the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, intestines), airways (trachea, bronchi), and the urinary system (ureters, bladder, urethra).

The different types of tubes used for blood collection include serum tubes, plasma tubes, anticoagulant tubes, and specialized tubes for specific tests.
The tubes from the kidneys to the bladder are called ureters.
Typically, there are two main tubes that protrude from each kidney: the ureters. These tubes transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. In addition, blood vessels such as the renal artery and renal vein also connect to the kidneys, but they are not considered tubes for urine transport.
The recommended color tubes for blood collection for lipase and amylase are usually light green or green tubes containing sodium heparin as an anticoagulant. These tubes help preserve enzyme activity in the collected blood sample.
The tubes inside the kidneys are called renal tubules. These tubules play a key role in filtering blood and reabsorbing essential substances to maintain the body's balance of fluids and electrolytes.
Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra waterwater from your blood .the waste called urea.your blood carries it to the kidneyskidneys.from the kidneys, urine travels down to thin tubes called ureters to the bladder
The liquid that is filtered by the kidneys and then stored in the bladder is called urine. Contrary to popular belief, when urine exits the body, it is NOT sterile.
There is no single tube or group of tubes entering the kidneys. There are millions of tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, and the kidneys take non-useful or toxic materials out, along with enough water to create urine.
Blood clotting in test tubes due to glass occurs when the glass surface activates clotting factors present in the blood. The glass can cause physical trauma to the blood cells, triggering the clotting process. This can lead to ex vivo clot formation in blood samples collected in glass test tubes.
The two narrow tubes in the kidneys are called ureters. They carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder for storage before it is eliminated from the body.
