renal column in dogs

A column of tissue that is histologically identical to tissue found in the renal cortex, and which is located in the medullary region of kidney, between the renal pyramids. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the renal column is

A column of tissue that is histologically identical to tissue found in the renal cortex, and which is located in the medullary region of kidney, between the renal pyramids. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the renal column is

It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the urinary system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the renal column connects to

The atlas records 3 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of kidney and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the renal column. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as cortical column, column of Bertini, columna Bertini, kidney column, renal column of Bertini and renal cortical column, and 3 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
