The third and final section is called the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and is also located in the renal cortex.

Each consists of an outer renal cortex and an inner renal medulla. Nephrons flow between these sections. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule.

Other Parts of the Kidney The cortex is the outer renal tissue located under the renal capsule. It appears lighter in color compared to the other parts of the kidney. The renal corpuscles, as well ...

“A 5-tiered renal CT algorithm, including mass-to-cortex corticomedullary attenuation ratio and heterogeneity score, had substantial inter-observer agreement, moderate AUC and PPV, and high NPV ...

Objective: We have shown previously that exercise training enhances endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent vascular relaxation in rabbit kidney. This study aimed to investigate protein ...

Normal Lymphatics of the Cortex, Medulla, and Renal Sinus The cortex and medulla of six of the 10 control kidneys appeared essentially normal aside from occasional subcapsular sclerotic nephrons ...
