1 Cortex â the outer region of the kidney; extensions of the cortical tissue, contains about one million blood filtering nephrons. 2  Nephron â these are the filtration units in the kidneys. 3  Medulla â inner region of the kidney contains 8-12 renal pyramids.
FILTRATION IN GLOMERULUS. 1. One of the capillary networks that are part of the renal corpuscles in the nephrons of the kidney. Each is surrounded by a Bowman's capsule, the site of renal (glomerular) filtration, which is the first step in the formation of urine.See: illustration. 2.he glomerulus is an integral part of the nephron, the basic unit of the kidney.
