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: -The renal corpuscle, located in the renal cortex, is made up of a network of capillaries known as the glomerulus and the capsule, a cup-shaped chamber that surrounds it, called the glomerular or Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -renal cortex: The outer region of the kidney, between the renal capsule and the renal medulla, that consists of a space that contains blood vessels that connect to the nephrons.
