The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect, we will analyze each of the provided statements about the structure and function of the kidneys. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - Statement A claims that the medullary zone of the kidneys is divided into conical masses known as medullary pyramids, which project into the calyx. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The medullary pyramids are indeed conical structures that project into the calyces of the kidney. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - Statement B states that the cortical region extends between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. The cortex does not extend as the renal pelvis; instead, the cortex forms structures known as renal columns (or columns of Bertini) between the medullary pyramids. The renal pelvis is a separate structure that collects urine from the calyces. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - Statement C asserts that the glomerulus along with Bowman's capsule is known as the renal corpuscle. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The glomerulus and Bowman's capsule together form the renal corpuscle, also referred to as the Malpighian body. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - Statement D states that the renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule, and distal convoluted tubule of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of the kidney. - **Evaluation**: This statement is also correct. The renal corpuscle and both convoluted tubules are located in the cortex, while the loop of Henle extends into the medulla. ### Conclusion: - The incorrect statement is **Statement B**, which incorrectly describes the relationship between the cortical region and the renal pelvis. ### Final Answer: **The incorrect statement is: "Inside the kidney, the cortical region extends between the medullary pyramids as renal pelvis."** ---
