In cortex area of kidney all structure are found except
In cortex area of kidney all structure are found except
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Majority of collecting duct
The Malpighian corpuscle (i.e., glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), PCT (proximal convoluted tubule) and DCT (distal convoluted tubule) of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of the kidney, whereas the loop of Henle dips into the medulla. The DCTs of many nephrons open into a straight tube, called as collecting duct, many of which converge and open into the renal pelvis through medullary pyramids in the calyces. Thus, collecting ducts are not found in the cortex of the kidney.So, the correct answer is option C.
