Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

A

The medullary zone of kidney is divided into a few conical masses called medullary pyramids projecting into the calyces.

B

Inside the kidney, the cortical region extends in between the medullary pyramids as the renal pelvis, which forms the columns of Bertini.

C

Glomerulus along with Bowman's capsule is called the renal corpuscle.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is incorrect, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of the Kidney:** - The kidney is divided into two main zones: the outer cortex and the inner medulla. - The medullary zone contains structures known as medullary pyramids, which are conical masses that project into the calyx. 2. **Analyzing Option A:** - Option A states that the medullary zone of the kidneys is divided into conical masses called medullary pyramids projecting into the calyx. - This statement is **correct** as it accurately describes the anatomy of the kidney. 3. **Analyzing Option B:** - Option B claims that the cortical region extends between the medullary pyramids as a renal pelvis. - This statement is **incorrect**. The cortical region actually extends between the medullary pyramids as renal columns, not as a renal pelvis. The renal pelvis is a structure that collects urine from the calyces and is not part of the cortex. 4. **Analyzing Option C:** - Option C states that the glomerulus along with the Bowman's capsule is called the renal corpuscle. - This statement is **correct**. The renal corpuscle indeed consists of the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. 5. **Analyzing Option D:** - Option D mentions that the renal corpuscles, proximal convoluted tubule, and distal convoluted tubule of the nephron are situated in the cortical region of the kidney. - This statement is also **correct**. Both the renal corpuscles and the convoluted tubules are located in the cortex. 6. **Conclusion:** - After analyzing all options, the incorrect statement is **Option B**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **Option B**: "The cortical region extends between the medullary pyramids as a renal pelvis."
