PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it. A tough, fibrous, connective tissue renal capsule closely envelopes each kidney and provides support for the soft tissue that is inside.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fibrous envelope of tissue that surrounds the kidney. Also called Gerota’s capsule and Gerota’s fascia.

Detailed explanation-3: -three layers: inner longitudinal, middle circular, and outer longitudinal. in areas on kidney and ureter where there is no serosa, the connective tissue between organs merges to become adventitia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The renal capsule is a tough fibrous layer surrounding the kidney and covered in a layer of perirenal fat known as the adipose capsule of kidney.
