Abstract
Tubular organs are the thoroughfares through which the gases and liquids that sustain life are transported. Such organs also often serve as factories for the synthesis and delivery of the hormones and enzymes that are essential for tissue homeostasis and energy metabolism. Examples of tubular organsKeywords
