What's the difference between tubulous and tumulous?
Tubulous
Definition:
(a.) Resembling, or in the form of, a tube; longitudinally hollow; specifically (Bot.), having a hollow cylindrical corolla, often expanded or toothed at the border; as, a tubulose flower.
(a.) Containing, or consisting of, small tubes; specifically (Bot.), composed wholly of tubulous florets; as, a tubulous compound flower.
Example Sentences:
(1) Results suggest that Cd-MT is reabsorbed and broken down by kidney tubule cells in a physiological manner with possible subsequent release of the toxic cadmium ion.
(2) Developing seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells were first seen on day 26, and were well established one day later.
(3) Studies were performed to characterize the determinants of proximal tubule ammonia entry (and retention) in vivo.
(4) In conclusion, the ability of distal tubules to establish a significant pH gradient will contribute to the titration of non bicarbonate buffers, i.e., to titratable acid formation.
(5) In situ hybridization of SMG sections showed that Aeg-1 and Aeg-2 transcripts are produced by the cells of granular convoluted tubules.
(6) The NAD-dependent enzymes (except alpha-GPDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the proximal tubules, while the NADP-dependent ones were more reactive in the thick limb of Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubules.
(7) Isolated renal tubules and renal clearance techniques were used to characterize the renal handling of 2-deoxy-D-galactose (2-d-Gal) by the winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus).
(8) Tubules and cells were released from slices of kidney cortex by collagenase.
(9) The results indicate that the conditions which inhibit the initiation of development are present in the Malpighian tubules and not in the midgut of the refractory mosquitoes.
(10) Many protozoa were in renal tubule cells, endothelial cells and brain.
(11) Fructose bisphosphatase, a gluconeogenic enzyme, is high along the major portion of the proximal tubule but plummets along the final millimeter of S3.
(12) Although a nephric loop (loop of Henle) is lacking, the tubules appear to be structurally well adapted for efficient ion and water reabsorption.
(13) They alter most immune functions and create a state of immunity deficiency; they damage the tubules which may lead to interstitial fibrosis and increased postglomerular capillary resistance furthering the trapping of macromolecules in the glomeruli; and they probably increase tissue permeability to macromolecules.
(14) The number of Sertoli cells per tubule cross section and the number of Sertoli cells per gonocyte were significantly decreased in the experimental testes.

(18) In the cis-trans axis of the Golgi apparatus the following compartments were observed: (a) On the cis face there was a continuous osmiophilic tubular network referred to as the cis element; (b) a cis compartment composed of 3 or 4 NADPase-positive saccules perforated with pores in register forming wells that contained small vesicles; (c) a trans compartment composed of 1 or 2 TPPAse-positive elements underlying the NADPase ones, followed by 1 or 2 CMPase-positive elements that showed a flattened saccular part continuous with a network of anastomotic tubules.
(19) Ligation of the left renal vein on the medial side of the adrenolumbar tributary maintained a patent left renal vein in all cases with 60% of left kidney biopsies showing no histological evidence of changes to glomeruli or tubules, and the remainder showing early acute tubular necrosis.
(20) Although most renal cadmium transport occurs in proximal tubules indirect evidence suggests that distal tubules may also transport this heavy metal.
Tumulous
Definition:
(a.) Full of small hills or mounds; hilly; tumulose.
