It also contains blood vessels and cortical collecting ducts.The renal cortex is the part of the kidney where ultrafiltration occurs. It contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla. The renal medulla is split up into a number of sections, known as the renal pyramids. The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.

The adrenal cortex produces a class of steroid hormones - mineralocorticoids, produced in the zona glomerulosa glucocorticoids are synthesized in the zona fasciculata innermost layer of the cortex produces androgens (steroid hormones). The renal pelvis or pyelum is the funnel-like dilated proximal part of the ureter in the kidney. The major function of the renal pelvis is to act as a funnel for urine flowing to the ureter. The renal medulla is the innermost part of the kidney.

The renal pelvis of the kidney is also displayed. The front half of the kidney is removable to enable demonstration of cortex medulla and vessels for teaching about the human kidney. Chemistry Experiments and Chemistry Kits.The embryological origin of the medulla is the same as that of the sympathetic nervous system. The embryological origin of the cortex, is similar to that of the gonads. They have an inner medulla and outer cortex, and there are different types of endocrine tissue in each. Parasitic, Viral or Bacterial Infection Adrenal Gland These are a pair of glands, one associated with each kidney.
