Two bean-shaped organs around the size of a hand make up the kidneys. These are positioned on both sides of your spine, just below your ribs. Healthy kidneys filter roughly half a cup of blood per minute, removing toxins and extra water to create urine. Two skinny muscular tubes called ureters, one on each side of the bladder, carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Your bladder stores urine. The kidneys, ureters, and bladder are all parts of the urinary system.Waste and extra fluid are removed from your body by your kidneys. A proper balance of water, salts, and minerals in your blood, including sodium, calcium, and phosphorus, is maintained by your kidneys, which also remove acid produced by your body's cells. potassium, too. Your kidneys are made up of nephrons, which are around a million in number. Each nephron also comprises a tubule and a filter known as the glomerulus. The glomerulus filters your blood first, and then the tubules remove wastes while returning necessary chemicals to your blood.
