Question

Which is not part of renal pyramid

• A. Collecting ducts
• B. Loop of Henle
• C. Convoluted tubules
• D. Peritubular capillaries

Answer 1

The correct option is C Convoluted tubules

• The medulla is divided into a few conical masses called medullary pyramids projecting into the calyces.

• The cortex extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal columns called Columns of Bertini. Hence convoluted tubules are not a part of the renal tubule.

So, the correct answer is 'Convoluted tubules'.
