The renal medulla is the center of the kidney. This is where the loops of Henle work to concentrate the urine and where the collecting ducts travel through to connect to the ureter to get rid of urine.

∙ 12y agoThe renal medulla, contains the structures of the nephrons responsible for maintaining the salt and water balance of the blood. These structures include the vasa rectae (both spuria and vera), the venulae rectae, the medullary capillary plexus, the loop of Henle, and the collecting tubule.
The renal medulla is hypertonic to the filtrate in the nephron and aids in the reabsorption of water.

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 is the conical mass of tissue within the renal medulla?
The renal pyramid.
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.
Damage to the renal medulla would interfere first with the functioning of what?
collecting ducts

What is renal medulla's function?
lipid-laden interstitial cells in the medulla are believed to be important in production of prostaglandin.
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.
Function of the renal medulla?
it is fuxk u i need this fur bio 9th grade....
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
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 is the function of Renal pyramids?
One million functional units
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.
Do the renal tubules empty urine into the renal medulla?
YES
