THE KIDNEYS

 The kidneys are two organs located in your midsection on either side of
your spine in the middle of your back, just above the waist and are
partially protected by the lower ribs.

 Each kidney is bean shape and is almost the same size of a person’s
 clenched fist.

 Each kidney has about 1 million nephrons, which are tiny filters in the
kidney.
These tiny filtering units help clean the blood of wastes and remove
excess water.

FUNCTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS

 Kidney filters in the blood of wastes and remove excess water.
