What else can I help you with?
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 portion of the kidney that extends between the renal pyramids Called?
The portion of the kidney that extends between the renal pyramids is called the renal columns. They are composed of cortical tissue and serve to separate the renal pyramids.
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 gives the renal pyramids their striped appearance?
Renal pyramids (or malpighian pyramids) are cone-shaped tissues of the kidney. The renal medulla is made up of 7 to 18 of these conical subdivisions (usually 7 in humans). The broad base of each pyramid faces the renal cortex, and its apex, or papilla, points internally. The pyramids appear striped because they are formed by straight parallel segments of nephrons.
Funnel-shaped structure that surrounds the tip of each renal pyramid and collects urine from the ducts of the pyramids is called the?
Renal papilla. The renal papilla is the tip of each renal pyramid where urine is collected before being expelled into the minor calyx.

What are area between the renal pyramids called?
the renal columns
The area of the renal cortex that lies between renal pyramids are called?
renal columns

Where are the renal pyramids located?
The renal pyramids are located in the cortex of the kidney.
What are the cortical tissues located between the pyramids?
The cortical tissues located between the pyramids are the renal cortex and renal columns. The renal cortex contains the glomeruli and convoluted tubules involved in the initial stages of urine formation, while the renal columns are extensions of the cortex that separate the renal pyramids.
What are renal pyramids and renal columns part of?
The word "renal" means "of or pertaining to the kidneys."
What are the branches of the renal pelvis?
renal pyramids
Where are the pyramids of Malpighi?
In the kidnies, they are also called renal pyramids. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_pyramid.
Do cats have renal pyramids or renal papillae?
