The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which structures are found in the cortex area of the kidney, we need to analyze the components of the nephron and their locations within the kidney. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Kidney Structure**: - The kidney is divided into two main regions: the outer region called the **cortex** and the inner region known as the **medulla**. 2. **Identifying Nephron Components**: - The nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, consists of several parts: - **Bowman's capsule**: A cup-shaped structure that encloses the glomerulus. - **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**: The first segment of the renal tubule. - **Loop of Henle (LOH)**: A U-shaped segment that extends into the medulla. - **Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)**: The segment following the loop of Henle. - **Collecting Duct**: The final part of the nephron that collects urine from multiple nephrons. 3. **Locating Each Structure**: - **Bowman's capsule** is located in the cortex. - **PCT** is also located in the cortex. - **DCT** is found in the cortex. - **Loop of Henle** extends into the medulla, which means it is not located in the cortex. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question asks for the structure that is **not** found in the cortex. The options include: - Bowman's capsule - DCT - Malpighian body (which includes Bowman's capsule and glomerulus) - Medullary rays 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the **Loop of Henle** is the only structure that extends into the medulla and is not found in the cortex, the correct answer to the question is **medullary rays**. ### Final Answer: The structure that is not found in the cortex area of the kidney is **medullary rays**. ---
