Correctly label the following anatomical parts of a kidney. The designations of "cortex" and "medulla' are misleading, perhaps because of differences in mammalian kidney structure among different species. Cortex refers to the outer perimeter and medulla comprises the pyramids and columns However, there is no fundamental difference between the composition of the cortex and that of the columns, both contain corpuscles that project tubules into the pyramidal regions. Renal medulla Renal cortex Major calyx Minor calyx Fibrous capsule Renal pyramid Renal column Correctly label the following anatomical parts of a kidney.
