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.

There are two types of nephrons, distinguished by their location in the kidney. Cortical nephrons are located in the renal cortex on the outside of the organ, while juxtamedullary nephrons are located deeper in the kidney, in the renal medulla. Each nephron is made up of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle provides the initial filtering component, while the renal tubule is responsible for reabsorption. The corpuscle is composed of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule.
