Each kidney has a renal lobe consisting of a renal pyramid with the renal cortex above it.
The ureter expands within the kidney to collect urine filtered by the neprhons. The renal pyramid is not made up of the ureter.
Renal pyramids are the cone shaped tissues in the kidney. The base of each pyramid starts at the corticomedullary border.

Renal pyramids (or malpighian pyramids) are cone-shaped tissues of the kidney. The renal medulla is made up of 7 to 18 of these conical subdivisions (usually 7 in humans). The broad base of each pyramid faces the renal cortex, and its apex, or papilla, points internally. The pyramids appear striped because they are formed by straight parallel segments of nephrons.
