The renal medulla is part of the kidney. The kidney's main role is related to urine and fluid - electrolyte balance. Transport of oxygen is done by red blood cells. Regulation of body temperature is mainly through the skin (e.g., sweating). Secretion of digestive enzymes is by organs like the pancreas and salivary glands. Production of insulin is by the pancreas. The renal medulla has structures like the loop of Henle which helps in concentrating urine and maintaining water - salt balance (osmoregulation).
