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.

This type of kidney is found in only a few species of mammals, including humans and beavers. The âdiscreteâ multireniculate kidnev is actually a single organ composed of many miniature kidneys, the reniculi, enclosed in a sheet of connective tissue and peritoneum (the renal capsule) to form a contiguous renal mass (Fig.cale bar: 3 mm. In the typical bean-shaped, unipapillary kidney of terrestrial mammals, the renal artery enters the kidney, and the renal vein and ureter exit, from the hilus, which is located at an indentation 011 the concave medial surface of the kidney.
