AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the First Part of the Question:** - The first part asks for the "cortical portions projecting between the medullary pyramids in the human kidney." - In the human kidney, the structure that fits this description is known as the **Column of Bertini**. These columns are extensions of the renal cortex that project between the medullary pyramids. 2. **Identify the Second Part of the Question:** - The second part of the question asks for "a loop of capillary running parallel to the Henle's loop." ...
