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: -The cortical section contains glomeruli, tubules, blood vessels and medullary rays. The medullary primarily contains loops of Henle, collecting ducts and blood vessels.
