©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Section of a human kidney The outer portion (the cortex) contains all the glomeruli. The tubules are located in both the cortex and the medulla, with the collecting tubules forming a large portion of the inner medulla (the papilla). Urine leaving the collecting tubules drains sequentially into the calyces, renal pelvis, ureter, and then the bladder. Adapted from Vander R, Renal Physiology, 2d ed, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1980.
