Detailed explanation-1: -The renal cortex is more superficial than the renal medulla. Urine is propelled along the ureters by peristaltic waves of muscular contractions. What is the collective name for the layers of muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder? One of the kidneys’ functions is the regulation of the body’s acid-base balance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Outside the fascia is the most superficial layer – a layer of fat tissue called the paranephric fat. This layer sits posteriorly and posterolaterally to each kidney and separates it from the muscles of the abdominal wall.
Detailed explanation-3: -The renal cortex is granular tissue due to the presence of nephrons-the functional unit of the kidney-that are located deeper within the kidney, within the renal pyramids of the medulla.
Detailed explanation-4: -The kidney is divided into two parts: the outer cortex and the inner medulla. In the cortex, the osmolarity is relatively low (think less salty), around 300 mOsm/L or so, but as you travel further down into the medulla, the osmolarity gets much higher (think more salty).
