The renal columns extend from the medulla into the cortex to subdivide it.
Frage 29
Frage
The medially directed apex (tip) of the renal pyramid called renal papilla

-
Unilateral - asymptomatic, bilateral - fatal
Frage 32
Frage
A Pelvic kidney may occur if the developing kidney fails to migrate from the pelvic cavity to the abdominal cavity (are asymptomatic and function normally)

Frage 34
Frage
The parenchyma of a human kidney can be dived into how many renal lobes?
Frage 35
Frage
A renal lobe consists of a renal pyramid, portions of renal column, portions of renal columns adjacent to either side of the renal pyramid, and the renal cortex external to the pyramid base.

Antworten
-
renal medulla
-
renal cortex
