kidney is divided into two distinct regions: an inner medulla and an outer cortex. The renal medulla is made up of conical masses of tissue called renal pyramid. The bases of the renal pyramids are directed towards the convex surface of the kidney. The renal cortex forms a shell around the medulla. The tissues dip into the medulla between the adjacent renal pyramids to form renal columns. The granular appearance of the cortex is due to the random arrangement of tiny tubules associated with nephrons

adrenal glands are found at the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra. Each adrenal gland is separated into two distinct structures‚ the adrenal cortex and medulla‚ both of which produce hormones.
