Detailed explanation-1: -On longitudinal section, the kidney can be divided into the cortex, medulla, renal papilla and renal pelvis . The concave border of the kidney is known as the hilum (or hilus), where the renal vessels (artery and vein) and nerves enter the kidney. At this location, the renal pelvis funnels into the ureter.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each kidney consists of an outer renal cortex, an inner renal medulla, and a renal pelvis. Blood is filtered in the renal cortex. The renal medulla contains the renal pyramids, where urine formation takes place. Urine passes from the renal pyramids into the renal pelvis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cortex and medulla make up the parenchyma, or functional tissue, of the kidney. The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus, and is continuous with the ureter. The renal pelvis is a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -The renal pyramids are in the medulla. The cortex covers the capsule. Nephrons are in the renal cortex.
