Human kidney location in body
In humans two kidneys are found which are located below the liver, behind outside the abdominal cavity, behind the abdominal peritoneum, around the vertebrae, but not exactly face to face, the left kidney is slightly above the right kidney Located on the side.
The kidney of man is dark red color and the shape of bean seeds. Each kidney is on average 1 0 to 1 2. 5 cm long, 5 to 7. 5 cm wide and about 2. 5 cm thick. The lateral side of each kidney is raised, but the midline of the body, that is, the side of the vertebra, is pressed. A suparrenal endocrine gland is covered like a cap at the upper end of each kidney. The concavity of the concave part is called hilus.
It opens into a cavity in the kidney called renal senus. The rinal artery and nerve penetrate into the renal senus via the hilus. And the renal vein, lymphatic and ureter ducts exit the renal sinus. The ureter brings the urine to the bladder and excretes the urine.
