The kidneys are situated at the back of the abdomen, below the diaphragm, one in each side of the spine, they are supplied with blood by the renal arteries. Each kidney is enclosed in a fibrous capsule and is composed of an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The active units of the kidney are vephrons within the cortex and medulla, which filter the blood under pressure and then reabsorb water and selected substance back into, the blood. The urine thus formed is conducted from the nephrons via the renal tubules into the renal pelvis end from here to the ureter which leads to the bladder. ii) Either of the two large glandular organs that are fundamental to the balance and purification of water in the body. The kidneys are located at the back of the abdomen at about waist level, on top them lie the adrenal glands blood having impurities flows into the kidneys from the renal arteries; it is processed by the tiny filtering units (nephorons) in the cortex and the medulla of each organ. Useful products are returned to the blood for reabsorption ; waste fluids are collected in the renal tubules and ducted to the renal pelvis, a central reservoir from which the water conveys the fluids (as urine ) to the bladder for eventual passing through the urethra.
