Which of the following statements are false? (i) Outer cortex and inner medulla are the two zones in kidney. (ii) Medulla is divided into few renal pyramids. (iii) Pyramid projects into calyx. (iv) Inward …

The cortex and medulla make up two of the internal layers of a kidney and are composed of individual filtering units known as nephrons. Renal medulla is the inner-most region of the kidney, arranged into …

Inside the kidney the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis. Glomerulus along with Bowman's capsule is called the renal corpuscle. Renal corpuscle, proximal …

The renal medulla forms conical pyramids shaped masses which project into the renal pelvis. These are called as medullary pyramids or renal pyramids which are 8 to 18 in humans.

Inside the kidney, there are two zones, an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The medulla is divided into a few conical masses (medullary pyramids) projecting into the calyces (sing.: calyx). The cortex …

The cortex extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal columns called Columns of Bertini. Hence Columns of Bertin is the extension of cortex into the medulla. Each column consists of lines of …

Consider the following statements and choose the correct option. A. Flame cells are excretory structures in flatworms. B. Green gland is excretory organs in annelids. C. Columns of Bertini are the …

The renal pelvis is made of two or three divisions called the major calyses. Each major calyx branches into several cup-shaped minor calyces. The apical portion called the papilla, of each renal pyramid …

Which of the following statements are false? (i) Outer cortex and inner medulla are the two zones in kidney. (ii) Medulla is divided into few renal pyramids. (iii) Pyramid projects into calyx. (iv) Inward …

The apex of a renal pyramid is called a renal papilla. Each renal papilla is associated with a structure known as the minor calyx, which collects urine from the pyramids. Several minor calyces merge to …
