1.It contains microscopic, fluid-filled tubules that run from the pulp to the underside of the enamel.

它包含微小的、充满液体的小管，从牙髓一直到牙釉下层。

2.If your enamel is worn away, your dentin and its tubules can be exposed.

如果你的牙釉掉了，你的牙和它的小管就会暴露出来。

3.ADH affects the last two-thirds of these tubes, called the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting ducts.

ADH作用于这小管的终末2/3部分，即远曲小管和集合管。

4.And this is showing us the digestive tubules of these animals.

这向我们展示了这动物的消化管。机翻

5.Macula densa cells are located in the distal convoluted tubule and they can sense when levels of sodium and chloride are low.

致密斑位于远曲小管，可感受到钠和氯水平降低。

6.Now, that calcium's still in the lumen, but parathyroid hormone also affects the distal convoluted tubule and increases calcium reabsorption.

这时，钙仍然在腔内，但甲状旁腺激素也会影响远曲小管，增加对钙的再吸收。

7.As the filtrate leaves the Bowman's capsule it flows into the renal tubule, which is surrounded by the peritubular capillaries.

滤液离开肾小囊后流入肾小管，后者管周毛细血管网包围。

8.These are basically molds of the insides of your kidney’s tubules, and they can be a sign of kidney disease.

这上是肾小管内部的霉菌，它们可能是肾脏疾病的征兆。机翻

9.Some substances are removed from blood through the peritubular capillary network into the distal convoluted tubule or collecting duct.

有物通过管周毛细血管网从血液中移出，进入远曲小管或集合管。

10.Typically intrarenal AKI's due to damage to the tubules, the glomerulus, or the interstitium —the space between tubules.

通常，肾性AKI是由于肾小管、肾小球或间空间（肾小管间的空间）损坏所致。

11.So when ADH is low, most of the water flows through the the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct, giving us diluted urine.

所当血中ADH水平低时，大部分水就顺着远曲小管和集合管排出体外，尿液也就稀释。

12.These tubules are important for sensory nerves as well, which use them to travel through the dentin from the pulp to the dentin-enamel junction.

牙中的小管对感觉神经也很重要，因为感觉神经可通过它们从牙髓到达釉交界处。

13.Within each kidney, there are about 1 million nephrons, and each nephron is made up of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.

每个肾约有100万个肾单位，每个肾单位由肾小体、肾小管组成。

14.Now, that calcium's still in the lumen, though, but parathyroid hormone also affects the distal convoluted tubule and increases calcium reabsorption.

现在，钙仍然在腔内，但是甲状旁腺激素也会影响远曲小管增加钙的再吸收。

15.This allows sodium to move from the tubule into the cell, and then to get pumped into the blood by the sodium-potassium pumps.

这可使钠离子从管腔移入细胞中，然后钠钾离子泵泵入血中。

16.The odontoblasts have long processes, or arms, that lay within tiny tubules in the dentin - like an octopus sticking it's arms through a block of cement.

成牙细胞有长长的突起，或者说长臂，伸入牙中的小管，就像章鱼的触角伸进水泥块困住一样。

17.And at this point the distal tubule and collecting ducts of the nephron can either reabsorb or secrete potassium depending on what the body needs.

这时，远曲小管和肾单位导管会根据需要重吸收或者分泌钾离子。

18.It's called a cast because it stays in essentially the same cylindrical shape as the tubule.

它称为管型，是因为它上与小管保持相同的圆柱形状。

19.Now, before we dive too far in here, let's re-draw the nephron so that the structure of the renal tubule is a little more accurate.

现在，趁还没有学得更深，我们来画一个肾单位，让肾小管的结构更加精确。

20.This external balancing act is largely taken care of by the kidneys, where excess potassium is secreted into a renal tubule and excreted in the urine.

肾在外钾平衡起主要作用，它可把多余的钾分泌到肾小管中，然后从尿排出。
