Best Answer

the kidneys are made up of medulla and the cortex. the cortex is the lighter exterior, while the medulla is an area made up of feathery like structures closer to the center which are attached to the ureter. Inside the kidneys are millions of nephrons which filter the blood. they do this by having blood build up a high pressure in the glomerulus ( a ball of capillaries) so that the small molecules ( water,glucose,etc) are forced thorugh into the bowman's capsule while the blood cells and proteins stay, as they are too big to be filtered. :)
