Question

Which of the following is not found in renal cortex;

1. Henle's loop

2. Vasa recta

3. Glomerulus

4. Bowman capsule

• A. 1, 2 and 3
• B. 1 and 2
• C. 2 and 4
• D. 1 and 3

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

1 and 2

The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla. It contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla.

Glomerulus & Bowman capsule are parts of the nephron.

So the answer is '1 and 2'.
