Loop of Henle (Nephron loop)
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
false........ The renal medulla is not the outer section of the kidney
Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.
Renal Pyramids - The renal medulla consists of 6 to 18 distinct conical or triangular structures called renal pyramids.
Loop of Hinle
The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.

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.
The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.
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.
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.
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.
