(a.) Having the quality of excreting, or throwing off excrementitious matter.
Example Sentences:

(4) The relation of the surface of the excretory apparatus to the whole kidney was studied.
(5) In other dogfish, glomerular filtration rate, urine flow, and Na and K excretory rates were measured for 3 days following implantation of desoxycorticosterone (DOCA), adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), or spironolactone; a control group was given no drug.
(6) A prospective study compared the diagnostic accuracy of sonography and excretory urography in determining the cause of acute flank pain in 61 patients.
(7) Excretory urogram revealed bilateral hydronephrosis and voiding cystogram revealed VUR on left ureter.
(8) None of the cases was diagnosed by retrograde pyelography for fractionally visualized excretory urography and 3 were within 9 months of a previously normal excretory urogram alone or with retrograde pyelography.
(9) However, plasma disappearance if intravenously injected glycine conjugate of cholic acid was significantly delayed in all subjects, suggesting that this is a more sensitive test of hepatic excretory function and may be of value for assessing hepatic function in patients with this rare genetic disorder.
(10) One of the advantages of the present method was the ability to distinguish the each portion of the excretory ducts system based on the resin casts surface appearance of the different structure of the wall of the lumen.
(11) Fifty patients were studied with erect films at excretory urography.
(12) These findings suggest that, in addition to being potent immunogens, larval excretory secretory proteins are produced in sufficient quantity to modulate the host response in anisakiasis.
(13) Furthermore, these experiments demonstrated that both metabolic (hepatic) and excretory (kidney) organs do not accumulate fenclorac in animals receiving the drug up to seven days.
(14) IC-7 and IC-9 fractions and microfilariae excretory-secretory (mf ES) antigen share common antigenic determinants as revealed by the fact that saturation of immobilized antibodies with IC-7 or IC-9 inhibited the binding of mf ES antigen coupled to penicillinase.
(15) The developing distal excretory duct possesses a septate junction and many branching and looping lamellae.
(16) Sonography, plain radiograph of the abdomen and post-contrast injection x-rays on excretory urography frequently offer complementary diagnostic information.
(17) Except for the suckers and excretory pores, the whole body surface of the metacercariae and the juveniles are covered with posteriorly pointing tegumental spines which are relatively denser in the forebody than in the hindbody.
(18) If the patient has hematochezia or the excretory urogram demonstrates ureteral obstruction sigmoid and colonoscopy should be done.
(19) They review all the possible etiological causes (intracystic haemorrhaging, infection, traumatism, idiopathic disorder in the dynamics of the cystic fluid, obstructions in the excretory ducts, previously pathological stones, etc.).
(20) The relative importance of excretory routes in the removal of recently stored 67Cu following tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) administration was studied.
Nephridium
Definition:
(n.) A segmental tubule; one of the tubules of the primitive urinogenital organs; a segmental organ. See Illust. under Loeven's larva.
Example Sentences:
(1) The nephridial nerve cells of the leech, Hirudo medicinalis, 34 sensory cells, each associated with one nephridium, are sensitive to changes in extracellular Cl- concentration, an important factor in ion homeostasis.
(2) However, in segments which normally do not contain the mesodermal portion of the nephridium, the distal tubule cell dies before undergoing its terminal morphological differentiation.
