Blood vessels that make their way from the renal hilum to the renal cortex must travel through extensions of the cortex called renal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The extensions of the renal cortex that blood vessels pass through are called renal columns. Renal pyramids, calyces, and sinuses are all structures within the kidney but do not serve the function of allowing blood vessels to enter the cortex. Trabeculae are supportive fibers found in bone and muscle tissue, not in the kidney.
