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 components of the nephron are completely covered by a basal lamina. The renal corpuscle is composed of two parts: a tuft of capillaries and a double-walled epithelial capsule called Bowman's capsule. The interior of Bowman's capsule (Bowman's space) is continuous with the proximal convoluted tubule.he human kidney has about four million filtering units called nephrons. The nephron consists of four parts: (1) renal corpuscle (capillary loops surrounded by an epithelial cover), (2) proximal convoluted tubule, (3) thin and thick limbs of Henle, and (4) distal convoluted tubule.
