The first thing we think of is the potential for a deadly envenomation, or sting. All scorpions do sting, but few are deadly, and the species on the Gulf coast is not a threat to life. Scorpions are arachnids, being closely related to spiders.
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 capsule relates to the other layers in the following order (moving from innermost to outermost): 1  renal medulla. 2  renal cortex. 3  renal capsule.
The kidneys are surrounded by a fibrous, transparent renal capsule; a fatty adipose capsule that cushions the organ; and an outer fibrous renal fascia that anchors the kidney to surrounding structures. Internal Anatomy. There are three distinct regions of the kidney: the cortex, the medulla, and the renal pelvis.ephrons are the structural and functional units of the kidneys that carry out processes that form urine. Each nephron consists of a renal corpuscle composed of a tuft of capillaries (the glomerulus), surrounded by a glomerular capsule (Bowman s capsule) and a renal tubule.
