Detailed explanation-1: -The renal cortex is more superficial than the renal medulla. Urine is propelled along the ureters by peristaltic waves of muscular contractions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Outside the fascia is the most superficial layer – a layer of fat tissue called the paranephric fat. This layer sits posteriorly and posterolaterally to each kidney and separates it from the muscles of the abdominal wall.
Detailed explanation-3: -The renal cortex is granular tissue due to the presence of nephrons-the functional unit of the kidney-that are located deeper within the kidney, within the renal pyramids of the medulla.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each kidney has an outer cortex and an inner medulla. Superficial to the cortex is the renal capsule. The renal capsule is a fibrous membrane surrounding the kidney.
