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.


The outer section of the kidney is called the renal medulla?

false........ The renal medulla is not the outer section of the kidney


Are the glomerulus the glomerular capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule all located within the medulla region of the kidney?

Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.


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 section of the renal tubule closest to the glomerular capsule?

The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.

What are the two main parts of a nephron?

The two main parts of a nephron are the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle. The renal tubule consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule, responsible for filtering and processing the blood. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, where blood is filtered to form urine.


What portion of the kidney produces urine?

The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.


In Which section of the kidney is urine collected?

in the nephron. each nephron consists of 2 tubes, one for carrying blood and one for forming urine. both have convoluted routes between the renal cortex and the medulla. The renal tube begins at the Bowman's capsule around the glomerulus and leads into the proximal convoluted tubule which dips in and out of the medulla at the loop of Henle. it eventually feeds urine into a large collecting duct.


What is the last portion of the renal tubule?

the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) 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.
