13.6 Kidney cortex

Version française

Section of the kidney cortex showing several renal corpuscles (C).

Several of the renal corpuscles show, at their vascular poles, the epithelial thickening, or macula densa (arrowheads) of the thick ascending limbs of Henle’s loops (see Figure 13.5).

The surrounding tubular profiles (*) belong to many proximal convoluted tubules and to some distal convoluted tubules of the nephrons.
