The meaning is broadly recoverable as 'making into tubes', but the learned form and technical register make the connection less immediate for many learners.

Etymology

The word tubulation comes from the common word tube ('a hollow pipe') and the ending -ation ('the act of'). So tubulation can also mean the process of making or arranging things into tubes, for example fitting tubing so liquids or gases can flow.
