b) Cortex - It is the outer portion of kidney present between the renal capsule and renal medulla. It consists of blood vessels connect to the nephrons

c) Medulla - It is the inner region of the kidney. It consists of 8-12 renal pyramids which empty into calyx of the kidney.

--> Externally, the kidneys are surrounded by three layers. The outermost layer is a tough connective tissue layer called the renal fascia. The second layer is called the perirenal fat capsule, which helps anchor the kidneys in place. The third and innermost layer is the renal capsule. Internally, the kidney has three regions—an outer cortex, a medulla in the middle, and the renal pelvis in the region called the hilum of the kidney. The hilum is the concave part of the bean-shape where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the kidney; it is also the point of exit for the ureters.
