Abstract
⺠In the present paper, we highlight the ultrastructure of nephrons in Pelodiscus sinensis and discuss the functional significance of the findings. ⺠The morphological features have been compared to those of other vertebrates, mainly in other orders of reptiles. ⺠The present study, employing both light microscopy based reconstructions and electron microscopy, considerably improves the structural understanding of the reptilian kidney. ⺠This work is a contribution to the knowledge of the kidney of P. sinensis, frequently used as an experimental model for physiological and biochemical studies.
