Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renal pyramids are cone-shaped tissue masses found in the medulla of the kidney. They contain tiny tubules that transport urine from the cortex to the renal pelvis. Renal columns are extensions of the cortex that project towards and between the pyramids, while the renal pelvis is the funnel-shaped area where the major calyces converge to receive urine from the pyramids. The renal cortex is the outer layer of the kidney that surrounds the medulla.
