Nephrons consist of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscles are located in the cortex of the kidney. The cortex is one of the two two parts of the kidney. The cortex is the outer zone of the kidney in which ultrafiltration. occurs. The other part of the kidney is the renal medulla. the inner part.
Kidney (corpuscles and tubules) In contrast, the secretory units of the kidney, called renal corpuscles, comprise a relatively small proportion of the kidney. The bulk of the kidney consists of highly specialized tubules, which correspond to the duct tree of a typical gland.he renal corpuscles are the sites where the process of urine formation begins with a filtrate of blood plasma. 1  Each renal corpuscle consists of an epithelial cup called Bowman's capsule enclosing a knot of capillaries and other elements called the glomerulus.
