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.
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
What parts of the nephron is found in the renal medulla?
Most nephrons (85%) are contained withing the renal cortex. The remaining 15% are called juxtamedullary nephrons and their glomeruli are close to the corticomedullary border. Their loops of Henle are found within the renal medulla.
How is the high osmolarity of the renal medulla is maintained?
Counter-current multiplication which occurs on the Vasa Recta helps maintain high osmolarity in the renal medulla Sodium Chloride (NaCl, or salt) is pumped out of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. The result is that the renal medulla has a high salt concentration, and therefore a low water concentration.
What are the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
renal cortex > renal medulla > renal pelvis1.renal medulla>renal pelvis>renal cortex2.renal medulla>renal cortex>renal pelvis3.renal cortex>renal medulla>renal pelvis4.renal cortex>renal pelvis>renal medulla
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 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.
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
Are the sections of the renal medulla the renal pyramids?
yes they are the same
What is the conical mass of tissue within the renal medulla?
The renal pyramid.
Is the renal medulla the layer of the kidney superficial to the renal pyramids but deep to the renal capsule?
Yes
