Figure 41.5 Which of the following statements about the kidney is false?
- The renal pelvis drains into the ureter.

Introduction:
In the body, kidneys are found as the pair of bear-shaped structure which are found below the liver in the peritoneal cavity. These bots structures play the functions of the major excretory system as it undergoes the ultrafiltration of the blood.
Answer to Problem 1VCQ
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (c) The cortex covers the capsule.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option(c) The cortex covers the capsule. Renal cortex is found as the outer region of the kidney which is formed by the outer extensions of cortical tissue. It is found as the outer portion present between the renal capsule and renal medulla. So it does not found as the covering of capsule only.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a). Renal pelvis drains into the ureter. The renal pelvis is found as the inner region of the kidney that enters into the ureter which is present outside the kidney. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (b) Renal pyramids are in the medulla. Renal Medulla is found at the medial region of the kidney which contains many renal pyramids. These pyramids are found as the pyramidal masses of tissues. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (d) Nephrons are in the renal cortex. The renal cortex contains the millions of structure and functional unit of the kidney known as nephrons.
Renal cortex is found as the outer region other of the kidney which is formed by the outer extensions of cortical tissue. Hence, the correct answer in s an option (c) The cortex covers the capsule.
