The renal cortex is the outer part of the kidney, intermediate between the renal sheath and the renal medulla. The adult renal cortex forms a continuous outer layer of brilliance with a protruding renal column extending to the kidney cone. It includes the glomeruli and renal capsules but does not include the Henry's ring portion deep into the renal medulla. It also includes the vascular part and the collecting tube.
