  • Towards the centre of the inner concave surface of the kidney is a notch called hilum through which ureter, blood vessels and nerves enter.
  • A section through the kidney reveals an outer region called the renal cortex and an inner region called the medulla.
  • The medulla is divided into a few conical masses (medullary pyramids) projecting into the calyces.
  • Emerging from the hilum is the renal pelvis, which is formed from the major and minor calyces in the kidney.
  • The cortex extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal columns called Columns of Bertini.
