Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pyramid is a structure in the kidney that contains many collecting ducts from multiple nephrons. The hilus is a depression on the medial surface of the kidney where the renal vessels and ureter enter and exit. The minor calyx is a cup-like structure that collects urine from a single renal papilla. The renal column is a portion of cortical tissue that extends between the renal pyramids. The renal pelvis is a funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the major calyces and exits the kidney as the ureter.
