| Description: Many marine birds and reptiles have salt glands, which contain a network of secretory tubules that actively transport NaCl from the interstitial fluid into the tubule lumen. The viscous solution then moves through a central duct and to the outside environment through pores in the nose, around the eyes, and in other locations. The black arrows indicate direction of flow of blood or salt gland secretions.
