Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The renal cortex has a more grainy texture, while the medulla is smoother. Both sections contain tubules (small tubes), but the cortex has the glomeruli (filters) and convoluted (twisted, curvy) tubules and blood vessels which gives it a grainy appearance.
Detailed explanation-2: -At one end of each nephron, in the cortex of the kidney, is a cup-shaped structure called the Bowman’s capsule. It surrounds a tuft of capillaries called the glomerulus that carries blood from the renal arteries into the nephron, where plasma is filtered through the capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glomerulus capillaries form a central tuft of looped capillaries located in the center of the renal corpuscle.
