| kidneys | The kidneys are a pair of organs located in the right and left side of the abdomen which clear poisons from the blood, regulate acid concentration and maintain water balance in the body by excreting urine. The urine then passes through connecting tubes called ureters into the bladder. The bladder stores the urine until it is released during urination. (12 Dec 1998) |

The kidney is an organ whose functional unit is the nephron. There are about one million nephrons per kidney. Each nephron is normally connected to a collecting duct housed in the adrenal medulla and adrenal cortex. The nephron is composed of three important areas: the glomerulus capsule, loop of hemle, and distal tube.
