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.
Where are the majority of nephrons located?
The majority of nephrons are located in the outer region of the cortex.
What are nephrons called if they are located mainly in the cortex?
Cortical nephrons are located mainly in the cortex of the kidney. They have shorter loops of Henle that mainly dip into the outer medulla. These nephrons are responsible for most of the kidney's filtration processes.
Is the glomerulus the inner portion of the kidney?

What region of the kidney would you find renal corpuscles?
the renal corpuscles are located in kidney but to say precisely it is located in nephron(blood filtering component) hope that it helped ^^
Where are the nephron units located in the kidney?
Nephron units are located in the kidney cortex. They are the functional units responsible for filtering blood and regulating the electrolyte balance and fluid volume in the body. Each kidney contains thousands of nephron units.
The glomerulus is located within the?
glomerulus is the clusture of cappillaries it is present along with cupshaped capsule called bowman's capsule or it is collectively called renal corpuscle
The cortex and medulla are parts of what organ?
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.
What does the cortex in the urinary tract do?
