Answer 2

The renal cortex is the part of the kidneys which mostly consists of nephrons and blood vessels. Its function is to filter blood and to remove the waste products inside the body. Nephrons are the basic functional units of the kidneys. Each healthy human kidney normally has one million or more of these important structures. In each nephron there is a glomerulos and a renal tubule that is divided into sections. The renal tubule is a long tube that winds through both the renal cortex and the renal medulla which has multiple triangle-shaped structures in the kidney.
for ultrafiltration

the most important functon of the renal cortex is production of erythropoietin by tubular cells.

Answer 3

The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidneys, where urine is produced. In long term kidney disease (chronic renal insufficiency), if the kidneys are working less than 20% of what they should, it is found atrophied.

Answer 4

The renal cortex filters impurities from the blood and filters them out of the body through the urine.
