Text Appearing Before Image: EXCRETORY AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS. 165 The substance of the kidney is composed of an outer cortical layer, about a half centimeter thick, and an inner medullary substance adja- cent to the pelvis, and pro- jecting into the latter in the form of a papilla. In the cortical substance are hun- dreds of Malpighian bodies, each composed of a ball of capillaries (Fig. 87) envel- oped by the invaginated enlarged extremity of a tubule which carries away the urine by a tortuous course to the papilla (Fig. 88). In the Malpighian bodies the water and other mineral substances of the urine are extracted from the blood by means of the epithelial cells forming the inner wall of the capsule of Bowman. These urinary products pass through the proximal convoluted tubule and the loop of Henle to the distal convoluted tubule, where they are mingled with the urea extracted from the blood by the columnar epithelial cells of the tubule. From this point the excretions flow into the collecting tube which empties into the pelvis at the papilla. In a prepared microscopic section of the kid- ney, these Malpighian bodies and uriniferous tubules may be seen with a microscope magnifying about 200 diameters.
