The renal medulla contains medullary pyramids. The part nearest the cortex is the base of the pyramid which narrows to form the inner part; the renal papilla. The medulla can be split into two parts, the outer and the inner. Different parts of the [[:Category:Nephron| nephron]] reside in these areas
