Difference between Kidney and Renal capsule

Kidney vs. Renal capsule

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates. The renal capsule is a tough fibrous layer surrounding the kidney, and covered in a layer of perirenal fat known as the adipose capsule of kidney.

Adipose capsule of kidney

The adipose capsule of kidney (or perinephric fat or perirenal fat) is a structure between the renal fascia and renal capsule, and may be regarded as a part of the latter.

Pararenal fat

The pararenal fat (or paranephric fat, paranephric body, or pararenal fat body) is collection of adipose tissue located superficial to the renal fascia.

Peritoneum

The peritoneum is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or coelom in amniotes and some invertebrates, such as annelids.

Renal artery

The renal arteries normally arise off the left interior side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood.

Renal hilum

The renal hilum (Latin: hilum renale) or renal pedicle is the hilum of the kidney, that is, its recessed central fissure where its vessels, nerves and ureter pass.

Renal pelvis

The renal pelvis or pelvis of the kidney is the basin-like or funnel-like dilated proximal part of the ureter in the kidney.

Renal pyramids

Renal pyramids (or malpighian pyramids or Malpighi's pyramids named after Marcello Malpighi, a seventeenth-century anatomist) are cone-shaped tissues of the kidney.

Renal vein

The renal veins are veins that drain the kidney.

Transversalis fascia

The transversalis fascia (or transverse fascia) is a thin aponeurotic membrane which lies between the inner surface of the transverse abdominal muscle and the parietal peritoneum.

Ureter

In human anatomy, the ureters are tubes made of smooth muscle fibers that propel urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.

Urinary system

The urinary system, also known as the renal system or urinary tract, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra.
