Question

Columns of Bertini in the kidneys of mammals are formed as extensions of

• A. Cortex in medulla
• B. Cortex in pelvis
• C. Medulla in pelvis
• D. Pelvis in ureter

Answer 1

The correct option is A Cortex in medulla

The column of Bertini, also known as the renal column is a medullary extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids. It allows the cortex to be better anchored. Each column consists of lines of blood vessels and urinary tubes and a fibrous material.

So, the correct option is 'Cortex in medulla'.
