What is the name of the part of the factual kidney?

The part of the kidney that contains the functional units responsible for filtering blood and producing urine is called the renal cortex. Within the cortex are the nephron structures, which include the glomerulus and renal tubules. The renal medulla, located beneath the cortex, also plays a role in urine concentration and storage. Together, these regions ensure the kidney's role in homeostasis and waste removal.
