At the middle of this indentation a tube called the ureter leaves the kidney, and nerves, and blood and lymph vessels also lead in and out of the kidney. Each kidney is covered by three layers made out of fat or connective tissue, the so-called kidney capsule (or renal capsule).These layers give the kidney extra stability, protect it from external harm and anchor it in the surrounding tissue.The kidney is surrounded by a thin outer renal cortex.t the middle of this indentation a tube called the ureter leaves the kidney, and nerves, and blood and lymph vessels also lead in and out of the kidney.
