I love the question to be about anatomy, as there obviously is a long and curled small intestine in most tubas, often with some help-out system added to the digestive tract. The term is something about "compensating".

I wonder a bit about that, because as amateurs most tubist are never compensated anything but fuel costs (if they are lucky).

The real oddity to tuba anatomy often is combined with at traditional spelling error hereby corrected: Which other creation can display liver arms?

Of course there is the horn, but then it is even more special, insofar that it connects the small intestine directly to a flaring rectum of some dimensions (a really big a.....e in plain speak). Itchy to the boot, as the hornist have to deploy their right hand just to scratch the inside fairly long up the interior. But then food-poisoning is no problem for a horn. It can be played fully stopped!

Back to the tuba you will realise, that the term for the tube you are mentioning not at all is about anatomy, but about botany: it is a branch. Even with a number allocated to it. The experts will tell you which number.

Hey! I thought the poster asked a good question! Why bother to respond if you don't have a REAL answer! Flame away!

Because I found Klaus' attempt at humor obtuse, and a disservice to the original poster's sincere question.
