The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of the Kidney**: - The kidney is a bean-shaped organ that has an outer concave surface and an inner concave surface. 2. **Identifying the Notch**: - On the inner concave surface of the kidney, there is a notch that serves as a passageway for various structures. 3. **Naming the Notch**: - This notch is known as the **hilum**. It is the area where the renal arteries, renal veins, and ureters enter and exit the kidney. 4. **Describing the Surrounding Structures**: - The outermost part of the kidney is called the **cortex**, while the inner region is referred to as the **medulla**. - Within the medulla, there are structures known as **medullary pyramids**. - The cortex extends between these pyramids, forming structures called the **columns of Bertini**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the notch on the center of the inner concave surface of the kidney is called the **hilum**. ### Final Answer: The notch on the center of the inner concave surface of the kidney is called the **hilum**. ---
