The Kidney
Identifcation:
The cortex (the first two slides) can be identified by the distinctive rounded corpuscles (3) with grape-like clusters of glomeruli (2) inside.
The medulla (last slide) contains only a dense arrangement of tubules. The medulla lacks corpuscles.
Features to know:
The round structures are renal corpuscles (3), consisting of an outer Bowman's Capsule (1) and the glomerulus (2) inside.
Other features:
Most of the other structures visible in these photographs are proximal and distal convoluted tubules.
