|
Testudinidae Eight tortoises have been used in this study i.e., 4 females and 4 males belonging to the Geochelone carbonaria species, in order to describe the macroscopic morphology, light microscopic morphology and the scanning electron microscopic morphology of the kidney. It has been observed that the kidney are compact, pyramid-shaped organs with a dark reddish coloring and circunvolutioned appearance. From a histological point of view, the nephron presents Malpighian corpuscle, proximal contoured tubule, loop of Henle, collector tubule and ureter. It has been also noticed that every renal structure secrete neutral-mucus granules.
