Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerulus is not a part of Renal tubule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Its main function is to supply blood to the renal pyramids in the renal medulla. It consists of blood vessels directly connected to nephrons. Also, it contains a major part of glomeruli. Hence, the right option is option B that states that Henle’s loop and Vasa recta are not parts of the renal cortex.
Detailed explanation-3: -The kidney has an outer rim (cortex) and an inner core (medulla). Each kidney contains approximately 500, 000 glomeruli, which are small balls of capillaries (diameter 0.1 mm) through which the blood is filtered. Glomeruli are present only in the cortex.
Detailed explanation-4: -Renal tubule has three parts-proximal convoluted tubule, the nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule.
