(d) Renal corpuscle, Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) and Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of kidney.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) Inside the kidney the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis.

Explanation:

Inside the kidney the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal column/columns of Bertin.

1. Columns of Bertin represent the extension of renal cortical tissue which separates the pyramids.
2. It is a medullary extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids.
3. It consists of lines of blood vessels and urinary tubes and a fibrous material.
4. It is an extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids.
5. It is located at the medulla, they are connective tissue extensions.

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) Inside the kidney the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis.
