Gross anatomy. The renal pelvis is triangular in shape, lies posteriorly in the renal hilum surrounded by fat and vessels and is formed by the either the union of two-to-three major calyces or of seven-to-eleven minor calyces.
The renal medulla is located in the kidney. Renal is from the Latin for kidney and medulla loosely means middle. See picture below. So essentially, the kidney is composed of two main regions.
