No the renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the Bowman's capsule. It plays a crucial role in the filtration of blood to form the primary filtrate in the kidney.
The glomerulus
The outer portion is called the Cortex and the inner dark portion is called the Renal Medulla
The cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood to form urine.
The structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney is the efferent arteriole. This arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow and pressure within the kidney.

The vascular part of the nephron in the kidney is called the renal corpuscle. It consists of the glomerulus, a network of capillaries, and Bowman's capsule, a structure that surrounds the glomerulus. This is where the process of blood filtration in the kidney begins.
Each kidney contains approximately 500,000 glomeruli
