The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the "Columns of Bertini." It is essential to know what these columns are and where they are located in the kidney. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Option 1: Renal pyramids formed by Medulla. - Option 2: Renal pyramids formed by Cortex. - Option 3: Renal columns formed by Cortex. - Option 4: Renal columns formed by Medulla. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1**: Renal pyramids formed by Medulla. This is incorrect because renal pyramids are structures within the medulla, not formed by it. - **Option 2**: Renal pyramids formed by Cortex. This is also incorrect as renal pyramids are not formed by the cortex. - **Option 3**: Renal columns formed by Cortex. This is the correct option. The columns of Bertini (or renal columns) are indeed formed by the renal cortex and are located between the renal pyramids. - **Option 4**: Renal columns formed by Medulla. This is incorrect because the renal columns are not formed by the medulla. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 3: Renal columns formed by Cortex**. ### Final Answer: The Columns of Bertini are renal columns formed by the renal cortex. ---
