Know Your Kidneys

Normally there are two Kidneys in Human body. They are of bean shape and usually fist size. They are placed one on either side of the spine, below the ribcage.

They remove waste material (toxins) and extra water from the blood to form urine. Urine flows from kidneys to the urinary bladder via tube like structure called ureters.
