Question

Column of Bertini is an extension of

• A. medulla into cortex
• B. cortex into medulla
• C. renal pelvis into renal pyramid
• D. renal pelvis into renal cortex

Answer 1

The correct option is B cortex into medulla

Kidney is divided into two zones, an inner medulla and an outer cortex. Cortex is the zone that occupies the peripheral zone of kidneys. The renal cortex extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal columns called columns of Bertini.

Renal pelvis is the point where the two or three major calyces join together.
