The Anatomy of The Kidneys

The Kidneys

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs of the human body, located in the abdomen. They are the organ responsible for creating urine, and therefore are a part of the urinary system. The kidney is also responsible for making hormones, which are responsible for the body going through puberty. Unlike many other organs such as the heart, lung, liver and brain, a human can live with only one kidney. Personally, I only have one kidney as I lost it to a disease back in 2012.
