    13.17   Kidney cortex and medulla Version française
Section of the kidney showing the borderline (dotted line) of the cortex (C) and the medulla (M).

The cortex above can readily be recognized by the presence of renal corpuscles (arrows). The medulla, below the line, is free of renal corpuscles. It contains the segments of the loops of Henle seen here in transverse and longitudinal sections.

Also indicated are some dense connective tissue (*) and blood vessels (V).
