The cortex of the kidney is the outer layer containing medullary rays (striations formed by tubules) and medullary lobules (cortical tissue). This region also contains the main filtration mechanisms: renal (Malphighian) corpuscles that contain glomeruli (capillary tufts). The red/brown color is due to the blood within the many capillaries of this area.
