Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The base of each pyramid faces the renal cortex, and its apex, called a renal papilla (plural=papillae), points toward the centre of the kidney. The renal cortex is the smooth-textured area extending from the renal capsule to the bases of the renal pyramids and into the spaces between them.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tips of the pyramids, called renal papillae, point toward the renal pelvis. There are, on average, eight renal pyramids in each kidney. The renal pyramids along with the adjoining cortical region are called the lobes of the kidney. The renal pelvis leads to the ureter on the outside of the kidney.
