Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renal columns are extensions of cortical tissue that dip down into the medulla between the renal pyramids. Renal papillae are small, nipple-like structures at the tips of the renal pyramids that project into the renal sinus. Renal pelvis is the funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the major calyces and passes it to the ureter. Calyces are cup-like structures that surround the renal papillae and collect urine from the minor calyces.
