The renal capsule is a tough fibrous layer surrounding the kidney and covered in a thick layer of perinephric adipose tissue. It provides some protection from trauma and damage.The renal capsule relates to the other layers in the following order (moving from innermost to outermost):1  renal medulla.2  renal cortex. 3  renal capsule.t provides some protection from trauma and damage.

The Renal Corpuscle. Together, the glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule are called a renal corpuscle. This structure is located in the renal cortex. You should also be aware that the nephron is composed of two main parts: the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle.he glomerulus is a network of renal capillaries responsible for the filtration of blood. The glomerulus is supplied with blood by a small artery carrying unfiltered blood called the afferent arteriole.
