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.
What are the kidneys and what do they do? The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of the bladder.
