PHOTO 9 - Diagram

Diagram showing the different vascular territories of the mammalian kidney and their location in the four renal zones. The respective height of the different renal zones has been altered. The cortex has been lenghtened and the inner medulla contracted.

 

The previous picture and this one show that the outer stripe of the outer medulla share the same tubule segments but in a different vascular environment.
