What else can I help you with?
What does the medullla in the kidney do?
the renal medulla contains capillaries and urine forming tubules
What carries urine through the medulla of the kidney?
Urine is carried through the medulla of the kidney by structures called the renal tubules. These tubules are responsible for reabsorbing essential substances from the filtrate and concentrating urine before it is excreted from the body.
Do the renal tubules empty urine into the renal medulla?
No, the renal tubules do not empty urine directly into the renal medulla. The renal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing water and other important substances from the filtrate, which eventually forms urine that is transported to the renal pelvis before draining into the ureter.
The outer section of the kidney is called the renal medulla?
false........ The renal medulla is not the outer section of the kidney
Where are the pyramid located in the kidney?
medulla
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.
Where are the renal columns located?
The renal columns are located in the renal medulla, which is the inner part of the kidney. They are extensions of the renal cortex that project into the renal medulla, helping to support and divide the structures within the kidney.
What are the three main regions of the kidney in their correct sequence from outermost to innermost?
renal cortex > renal medulla > renal pelvis1.renal medulla>renal pelvis>renal cortex2.renal medulla>renal cortex>renal pelvis3.renal cortex>renal medulla>renal pelvis4.renal cortex>renal pelvis>renal medulla
Is the medulla in the outer layer of the kidney?
No, the medulla is located in the inner portion of the kidney. It lies between the renal cortex and the renal sinus, and is where urine is formed and drained into the renal pelvis.
Renal pyramids are what region of the kidneys?
the renal pyramids are found in the renal medulla of the kidney Reference http://www.ivy-rose.co.uk/HumanBody/Urinary/Urinary_System_Kidney_Diagram.php
What is the shell around the renal medulla?
The renal medulla is surrounded by the renal cortex, which is the outer layer of the kidney. It contains the renal columns, which are extensions of cortical tissue that project into the 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.
