This is all the areas of the cortex that come into one medullary lane and exits into one papilla e that goes into one calyx. Renal calyx - this is the place where the pyramid drains. The calyx join together to drain into to the pelvis *bigger open space* Blood supply - renal artery and renal vein. The cortex (cx) - has a defined structure.
