| Abstract | The renal countercurrent bundles of elasmobranch fish were studied by light and electron microscopy. The kidneys of the lesser spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus caniculus Blainville, and the little skate, Raja erinacea Mitchill, were investigated. Three-dimensional reconstruction with computer assistance revealed the spatial association of the renal tubular segments and their relationships to each other, as well as to the microvasculature. Regular association between structures was assessed by quantification of contact points on histological sections. The bundles contain a hairpin loop of neck segment and the beginning of the proximal tubule, PIa. The limbs of this loop closely adhere to each other, and a second loop (the early distal tubule) coils around the first loop at the tip of the bundle. The collecting tubule runs between the two loops, and merges with the collecting duct inside the end portion of the bundle. A single lymph capillary-like vessel originates from a few blind-ended rami at the tip of the bundle and runs in close contact with the collecting tubule along the entire bundle. This central vessel merges via several side branches with the venous sinusoid capillaries of the peritubular blood circulation. Thereby the central vessel provides a channel for convective flow of NaCl-rich fluid unidirectionally to the venous portal system of the mesial tissue zone of the kidney. By the close spatial arrangement of the collecting tubule and the central vessel countercurrent exchange of urea from the collecting tubule urine to the fluid in the central vessel is feasible. Thus, the spatial organisation of renal tubular segments and the central vessel is considered to represent the morphological correlate to urea retention by the kidney of Elasmobranchii. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
