Medulla lies beneath the cortex and organized into pyramid structures. Each of them renal pyramids is a network of tiny tubules that filter tjr waste.
Renal Pelvis
It is a funnel-shaped cavity in the center of the kidney where urine collects before passing into the ureter. The renal pelvis also helps transport waste products to the bladder for excretion.
