These capillaries pour their con- tents into a tiny vein, which, after leaving the capsule, breaks up again in a network about the walls of the urinif- erous tubules. This network fuses again into a single tube which connects with the renal vein. Excretory action of the kidney.— The cells which line the capsules and upper parts of the tubules are true gland or secreting cells. Those in the lower part of the tubule are purely for protection. The cells of the capsule secrete only water and inorganic salts which they receive from the.
