Preferred Label : kidney tubules, proximal;
MeSH definition : The renal tubule portion that extends from the BOWMAN CAPSULE in the KIDNEY CORTEX
into the KIDNEY MEDULLA. The proximal tubule consists of a convoluted proximal segment
in the cortex, and a distal straight segment descending into the medulla where it
forms the U-shaped LOOP OF HENLE.;
