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 do important work in the body filtering blood, removing waste into urine and balancing electrolyte levels. Our blood in our bodies passes through the kidneys several times a day. The kidneys are a pair of organs located in the back of the abdomen. Each kidney is about 10-12.5cm (4-5in) long - about the size of a fist. Each kidney contains around a million units called nephrons, each of which is a microscopic filter for blood.
