Which area of the kidney contains the greatest amount of nephron structures?
The renal cortex contains the largest number of nephron structures in the kidney.
Why is the cortex wrinkled?
The folds of the brain cortex increase the surface area. Because the processing of the brain is done in the cortex, having an increased surface area allows for more processing power.
The olfactory area is found within the?
The olfactory area is found in the nasal cavity.A rather simplistic answer by the previous respondent, it is in-fact found in the medial aspect of the temporal lobe.
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 gland is in the upper hip area?
The gland located in the upper hip area is the adrenal gland, specifically the adrenal cortex. It sits atop each kidney and is responsible for producing hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and aldosterone, which are crucial for regulating metabolism, stress response, and blood pressure.
Frontal section through the kidney will reveal on outer area called the cortex and an inner area known as what?
medulla
How is the cortex different from the medulla in the kidney?
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.
What is the corticomedullary junction?
Kidney contain two major anatomical areas which are distinct in appearane and function,cortex(outer) and medulla(inner).Their junctional area is cortico-medullary junction.
What are facts about the human brain?
Some parts of the brain are the cerebral cortex , medulla oblongata , thalamus and the outer portion of the brain is the sensory area.
Which area of the kidney contains the greatest amount of nephron structures?
The renal cortex contains the largest number of nephron structures in the kidney.
Which area of the kidney contains the glomeruli and bowman's capsules?
The glomeruli and Bowman's capsules are located in the renal cortex of the kidney. The renal cortex is the outer region of the kidney that contains the nephrons, the functional units responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Each nephron consists of a glomerulus surrounded by Bowman's capsule, where the process of filtration begins.
What are extra-pyramidal centers?
premotor area of cerebral cortex (area 6)corpus striatum (caudate & lentiform nuclei)subthalamic nucleus (in subthalamus)red nucleus (in midbrain)substantia nigra (in midbrain)inferior olivary nucleus (in medulla)nuclei of reticular formation (in brainstem)
What represent the motor areas of the cortex?
Primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, Broca's area and frontal eye field
Why is the cortex wrinkled?
The folds of the brain cortex increase the surface area. Because the processing of the brain is done in the cortex, having an increased surface area allows for more processing power.
The Brain area that regulates activities that control the state of wakefulness or alertness of the cerebral cortex?
The brain area that regulates activities controlling wakefulness or alertness of the cerebral cortex is the reticular activating system (RAS). The RAS is a network of neurons located in the brainstem that plays a key role in maintaining consciousness, attention, and arousal levels by continuously monitoring sensory inputs and sending signals to the cortex. Dysfunction in the RAS can lead to conditions like coma or excessive sleepiness.
Which area of the brain can be damaged by chronic alcohol abuse?
cerebral cortex
What is the approximate total surface area of the cerebral cortex?
The approximate total surface area of the cerebral cortex is around 2,500 square centimeters in adults.
