What is the Histological Appearance of the Renal Cortex?
Under a microscope, the renal cortex displays a granular appearance due to the presence of numerous renal corpuscles and tubules. The renal corpuscles appear as spherical structures, while the tubules are more elongated and convoluted. The glomerulus within the renal corpuscle consists of a tangled network of capillaries, surrounded by Bowman's capsule.
