**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Kidney Structure**: The kidney consists of two main regions: the cortex and the medulla. The cortex is the outer part of the kidney, while the medulla is the inner part. 2. **Identifying Nephron Components**: The nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney, includes structures such as the Bowman's capsule and glomerulus located in the cortex, and the loop of Henle located in the medulla. 3. **Osmolarity in the Cortex**: The osmolarity in the cortex of the kidney is generally around 300 mOsmol per liter. This is the baseline osmolarity of the renal cortex. ...
