the renal columns
renal columns
The cortical tissues located between the pyramids are the renal cortex and renal columns. The renal cortex contains the glomeruli and convoluted tubules involved in the initial stages of urine formation, while the renal columns are extensions of the cortex that separate the renal pyramids.
The renal modus horn, often referred to as the renal medulla, is located within the kidney. It is situated between the renal cortex and the renal pelvis, consisting of the renal pyramids that contain the collecting ducts and nephrons. This area plays a crucial role in the concentration of urine and the regulation of water and electrolytes.
It is a normal structure of the cortical tissue in the kidneys; normal renal tissue. This area can be enlarged as a congenital condition that is usually insignificant. This is called Prominent Column of Bertin or Hypertrophied Column of Bertin and is also called Renal Pseudotumor when seen on an X-ray, since it can be mistaken for a tumor or mass in the kidney, but it is ordinarily a benign condition.
The area of the kidney that includes the cortex and medulla is called the renal parenchyma. It is where the functional units of the kidney, known as nephrons, are located. The cortex is the outer region of the renal parenchyma, while the medulla is the inner region.
The ureter joins the kidney at an area called the renal pelvis.The renal Pelvis
The basin-like area of the kidney that is continuous with the ureter is called the renal pelvis. It collects urine from the kidney's collecting ducts before it flows into the ureter for transport to the bladder.
fibrous column
The kidneys or kidney area. Renal referrs to kidney function.
Renal pelvis!
The fat-filled cavities just inside the kidney's hilum are called renal sinus. They house the renal artery, renal vein, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and renal pelvis. The fat in this area helps provide cushioning and support for these structures.
The renal hilum is a structure found posterior to the renal vascular pedicle. It is the area where the renal artery enters and the renal vein and ureter exit the kidney.
