Detailed explanation-1: -The renal column (or Bertin column, or column of Bertin) is a medullary extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids.
Detailed explanation-2: -The renal columns also serve to divide the kidney into 6–8 lobes and provide a supportive framework for vessels that enter and exit the cortex. The pyramids and renal columns taken together constitute the kidney lobes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Portions of the renal cortex extend into the spaces between adjacent pyramids to form renal columns. The cortex and medulla make up the parenchyma, or functional tissue, of the kidney. The central region of the kidney contains the renal pelvis, which is located in the renal sinus, and is continuous with the ureter.
