*'''Trimester''' - a period of three months

*'''Tuberculin reaction''' - a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, characterised through the presence of lymphocytes and monocytes. This cellular reaction is often used as evidence for the presence of a solid cellular immunity. In this instance tuberculin is a model antigen as it causes this reaction in animals vacinated against tuberculosis (i.e. sensitised animals). Tubercilin is an antibody that is dereived from the tuberculosis causing mycobacterium
 
*'''Tubule - renal''' - A minute tube, lined by a single layer of epithelial cells, that extends in a convoluted manner from the Bowman's capsule to the collecting ducts.  The primary function of the tubule is to secrete and reabsorb water, inorganic ions and other molecules from the glomerular filtrate.  The tubule consists of 4 main areas:  the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Proximal Tubule - Anatomy & Physiology| Proximal Tubule]], the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Loop of Henle - Anatomy & Physiology| Loop Of Henle]], the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology#Distal Tubule| Distal Tubule]] and the [[Reabsorption and Secretion Along the Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct - Anatomy & Physiology| Collecting Duct]].
