It 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.[WP] GAID:424 cortex renalis UBERON:0001225 EMAPA:17952 renal cortex NCIT:C12739 FMA:15581 Outer cortical portion of the kidney, between the renal capsule and the renal medulla.
