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.

Renal capsule â Ultrafiltration The renal artery splits into numerous arterioles, each feeding a nephron. The arteriole splits into numerous capillaries, which form a knot called a glomerulus. The glomerulus is enclosed by the renal capsule (or Bowmanâs capsule)- the first part of the nephron.he renal artery carries blood to the kidney, while the renal vein carries blood, now with far lower concentrations of urea and mineral ions, away from the kidney. The urine formed passes down the ureter to the bladder. Ureter (urine out) The important part of the kidney is a folded tube called a nephron.
