i have no idea :) i thing it does something
The renal cortex is the part of the kidneys which mostly consists of nephrons and blood vessels. Its function is to filter blood and to remove the waste products inside the body. Nephrons are the basic functional units of the kidneys. Each healthy human kidney normally has one million or more of these important structures. In each nephron there is a glomerulos and a renal tubule that is divided into sections. The renal tubule is a long tube that winds through both the renal cortex and the renal medulla which has multiple triangle-shaped structures in the kidney.
for ultrafiltration
the most important functon of the renal cortex is production of erythropoietin by tubular cells.
The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidneys, where urine is produced. In long term kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency), if the kidneys are working less than 20% of what they should, it is found atrophied.
The renal cortex filters impurities from the blood and filters them out of the body through the urine.
The cortex of the kidney (and all other organs) is the outer later. This is referred to as the renal cortex.

The cortex is a part of a kidney around the inside of a kidney.
No the renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney
renal and kidney are the same so the answer is Yes. the cortex is the outer part of the kidney as opposed to the medulla, the inner part.
The cortex is just the outer part of the kidney.
The Cortex.
Glomerulus- tiny ball of capillaries(microscopic blood vessels) in the kidney.
urine
the cortex
You mean the capsuls covering it. But generally kidney is coverd by posterior wall of peritonium
cortex
Cortex of the kidney shows a 'dotted' appearance because, it contains numerous complex structures known as Nephrons.
The middle layer of the kidney is known as medulla
