Ensuring that a tube is the correct width. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological quality. A biological quality is a measurable attribute of an organism or part of an organism, such as size, mass, shape, color, etc. The process by which the anatomical structures of the Malpighian tubule are generated and organized. This process takes place entirely during the embryonic phase. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A Malpighian tubule is a fine, thin-walled excretory tubule in insects which leads into the posterior part of the gut. Ensuring that a Malpighian tubule is the correct length and diameter. Ensuring that a tube is of the correct length and diameter. Tube size must be maintained not only during tube formation, but also throughout development and in some physiological processes. Ensuring that the Malpighian tubule is the correct width. Malpighian tubules have a uniform circumference along their length; the circumference of the tubes is eight cells during the time the cells are dividing, after which the cells rearrange producting tubes with a cirumference of two cells.
