THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal cortex is brownish-red in color. It’s the outside part of the kidney. It covers the renal medulla, the inside part of the kidney. The medulla contains little triangular pieces called the renal pyramids.

Detailed explanation-2: -The renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney tissue. It is darker than its underlying renal medulla because it receives over 90% of the kidney blood supply. The cortex has a grainy appearance, as it mostly contains ovoid and coiled parts of the nephrons (renal corpuscles and convoluted tubules).

Detailed explanation-3: -The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney. It contains the glomerulus and convoluted tubules. The renal cortex is surrounded on its outer edges by the renal capsule, a layer of fatty tissue. Together, the renal cortex and capsule house and protect the inner structures of the kidney.
