Ajuxta glomerular apparatus
Bcolumn of Bertini
Cmedullary pyramid
Dmalpighian body
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. malpighian body
1. The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup like structure, Bowman's capsule.
2. That capsule encloses the glomerulus.
3. The two together are called the malpighian body, also known as the renal corpuscle.
4. The juxta glomerular apparatus is a separate sensitive region formed where the distal tubule contacts the afferent arteriole.
5. Columns of Bertini are extensions of cortex between the medullary pyramids.
