Definition

The renal columns have been thought of as being part of the medulla only because they are located in the inner, medullary region of the kidney, rather than in the outer, cortical region. Histologically, they are extensions of the renal cortex.

Also known as column of Bertini, columna Bertini, kidney column, renal column of Bertini, renal cortical column — per UBERON
