There are 3 regions of the kidneys are :

1) Cortex
2) Medulla
3) Pelvis

There are 5 functions for kidney here is:

The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. There are five parts of the nephron: 1. The glomerulus, which is the blood kidney interface, plasma is filtered from capillaries into the Bowman’s capsule. 2. The proximal convoluted tubule, which reabsorbs most of the filtered load, including nutrients and electrolytes. 3. The loop of Henle, which, depending on it’s length, concentrates urine by increasing the osmolality of surrounding tissue and filtrate. 4. The distal convoluted tubule, which reabsorbs water and sodium depending on needs, 5. The collecting system, which collects urine for excretion. There are two types of nephrons, those localized to the cortex, and those extending into the medulla. The latter are characterized by long loops of Henle, and are more metabolically active.
