The long and convoluted structure of the tubule (similar to intestines, brain, lung etc.) increases the surface area. In biological systems, a larger surface area is beneficial for functions like absorption (in intestines), gas exchange (in lungs), or neural processing (in brain). For example, the intestines have a large surface area due to villi and microvilli to maximize nutrient absorption.
