Kidney Anatomy(Diagram) Kidneys are excretory organs belonging to the urinary system that weighs around 150 grams, about the size of a standard computer mouse. They are two-bean shaped structures located right above your waistline.
The kidneys are bilateral bean shaped organs, located in the posterior abdomen. They are reddish-brown in colour. The main function of the kidneys is to filter and excrete waste products from the blood.They are also responsible for water and electrolyte balance in the body.Metabolic waste and excess electrolytes are excreted by the kidneys to form urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder by the ureters.he kidneys lie retroperitoneally (behind the peritoneum) in the abdomen, either side of the vertebral column. The left and right kidneys are located at different vertebral levels: 1  Left kidney: T11- L2. 2  Right kidney: T12 â L3 (it is lower due to the presence of the liver).
