The renal cortex is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.In the adult, it forms a continuous smooth outer zone with a number of projections (cortical columns) that extend down between the pyramids.t contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla. It also contains blood vessels and cortical collecting ducts. The renal cortex is the part of the kidney where ultrafiltration occurs. Erythropoietin is produced in the renal cortex.
The three most common types of eating disorders are: 1  Anorexia Nervosa â self-starvation. 2  Bulimia Nervosa â binge eating followed by purging, fasting or excessive exercise. 3  Binge Eating Disorder â episodes of uncontrolled eating, without the abuse of laxatives or vomiting, associated bulimia.
There are three main types of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. People with anorexia nervosa see themselves as overweight even though they are dangerously thin from starving themselves. People with bulimia nervosa eat unusually large amounts of food (binge eat) and then compensate by purging (vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics), fasting or excessive exercise. People with binge-eating disorder binge but do not purge, and they often become overweight or obese. Eating disorders may occur along with depression, substance abuse, or anxiety disorders, and can cause heart and kidney problems, even death.
