Which one of the following statements is incorrect?, The medullary zone of kidney is divided into a few conical masses called medullary pyramids projecting into the calyces., Inside the kidney, the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as the renal pelvis, which forms the columns of Bertini., Glomerulus along with Bowman's capsule is called the renal corpuscle., Renal corpuscles, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of kidney.

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla. In the adult, it forms a continuous smooth outer zone with a number of projections (cortical columns) that extend down between the pyramids. It contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla. It also contains blood vessels and cortical collecting ducts.
