What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What are the cortical tissues located between the pyramids?
fibrous column The answer you are looking for is: renal column
What are the two main regions in the internal structure of a kidney?
The internal structure of a kidney is the renal cortex and the renal medulla.
What is the area of the kidney that includes the cortex and medulla?
This is called the renal lobe.
Most nephron are located in the renal?
Cortex. --------------------- Actually both the renal cortex and medulla contain parts of the nephron. The loop of Henle lies within the medulla, everything else is in the cortex.

The triangular shaped areas of the renal medulla are the what?
Renal Pyramids - The renal medulla consists of 6 to 18 distinct conical or triangular structures called renal pyramids.
What are the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
renal cortex > renal medulla > renal pelvis1.renal medulla>renal pelvis>renal cortex2.renal medulla>renal cortex>renal pelvis3.renal cortex>renal medulla>renal pelvis4.renal cortex>renal pelvis>renal medulla
Are the glomerulus the glomerular capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule all located within the medulla region of the kidney?
Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What separate the renal cortex from the medulla?
The renal medulla is composed mostly of collecting ducts and the nephron loops. You will not see any glomeruli in the medulla, as they are confined to the cortex. This makes the renal cortex and renal medulla easily distinguishable.
Are prostaglandins made in the renal medulla?
Yes, prostaglandins are made in the renal medulla.
What part of the renal tubules can be found in the medulla of the kidney?
The renal medulla is the innermost part of the kidney. The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections, known as the renal pyramids
What parts of the nephron is found in the renal medulla?
Most nephrons (85%) are contained withing the renal cortex. The remaining 15% are called juxtamedullary nephrons and their glomeruli are close to the corticomedullary border. Their loops of Henle are found within the renal medulla.
The outer section of the kidney is called the renal medulla?
false........ The renal medulla is not the outer section of the kidney
Is the renal medulla located between the renal pyramids and the renal capsule?
the medulla is organized into a GROUP of pyramids. It makes up the pyramids.
What are the cortical tissues located between the pyramids?
fibrous column The answer you are looking for is: renal column
Do the renal tubules empty urine into the renal medulla?
YES
