it plays a part in the excretory system
kidneys
(made in the kidneys in the adrenaline gland)
Only mammalian kidneys have a renal pelvis (dilated beginning of the ureter) and renal pyramids (8 to 18 cone-shaped tissues in the renal medulla). The renal medulla (the innermost part of the kidney), and the renal cortex (surrounds the renal medulla) are more distinguishable in mammals than in other vertebrates.
The renal medulla is surrounded by the renal cortex, which is the outer layer of the kidney. It contains the renal columns, which are extensions of cortical tissue that project into the medulla.
in the kidneys
well both of them is divided into two part the cortex & the medulla. Cortex protects the urine, and the meduuua carries the urine to the kidneys.
The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
The renal cortex is the outer region of the kidney. The medulla is the inner region of the kidney.
The cortex and medulla are parts of the adrenal glands, which are located on top of each kidney. The cortex is the outer layer responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, while the medulla is the inner layer that produces adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Yes. The renal medulla is lateral to the renal pelvis. You have the renal pelvis placed lateral to the medulla. The kidneys face to each other lateral to the vertebral column.. The right kidney is situated lower than the left kidney. This happens due to big size of the liver.
No, the cortex does not contain nephrons. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys and are predominantly located in the renal cortex and renal medulla.
