    it reaches the papillary portion of the kidney where it unites, dichotomously, with neighboring collecting tubules, and so on, until the uniting collecting tubules empty, in the form of the ductus papillaris upon the surface of the papilla. /, Papillary layer; g, border layer of the med- ullary substance; r, cor- tical substance. Capsule of glomerulus I, which enters into tortuous por- tion II through the neck. This tapers at the boundary between medulla and cortical into the descending limb of the loop III, and, as such, goes through Hen- le's loop hy into the ascending limb of the loop IV. To this is added the intermediate portion V, which, through the external arch at the top of r, en- ters the collecting tubule. The collecting tubule unites with its neigh- bor of the same pyramid VII, to form the princi- pal tube VIII, and this, finally unites with others to form the ductus pap- illaris IX. Fig 2.
