What is the cortex of the kidney?

Answer 1

It is called the Renal Cortex and is the layer found between the Reanl Capsule and Renal Medulla. It is the outer reagion of a kidney nad is colloured light red.

Renal Cortex accomodates the Glomerular capsule, largest part of nephrone, arterioles, veins and capillaries. Most filtration processes occur in this part of Kidney.

Answer 2

The process of blood filtration starts in the renal cortex which is referred to as the urine manufacturing facility and contains the functional units of the kidneys known as nephrons. Each nephron is supplied with blood from the renal artery via its own individual afferent arteriole. The afferent arteriole enters the glomerulus, which is a bundle of capillaries surrounded by the Bowman's capsule. This is where filtration takes place under pressure. The pressure forces the blood serum through the capillaries, but leaves the blood cells behind. Once the serum crosses the capillary walls it is called filtrate.

The filtrate then enters the renal tubules, which includes the proximal tubule, the Loop of Henle, and then finally, the filtrate leaves the nephrons by means of the collecting duct into the renal pelvis. This then leads to the renal ureters. The ureters then deliver the filtrate that is know called urine into the urinary bladder.
Inside each kidney is the cortex,outer layer,in which the majority of the glomeruli are located, and the medulla, or inner section of tissue, which consists primarily of the tubules and collecting ducts. Inside the medulla lie the renal pelvis and calyes, through which urine flows into the ureter.

Answer 3

In humans, the renal pelvis is the point of convergence of two or three major calyces. Each renal papilla is surrounded by a branch of the renal pelvis called a calyx. The major function of the renal pelvis is to act as a funnel for urine flowing to the ureter.

Answer 4

the renal cortex which are located in the renal corpuscles in cortex.the nephon juxmedullary are mostly shorty than the other cartical nephon which are long to produce concentrated urine in kidney.
