Hi dear....I will help you...!!
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.
The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of the bladder. The bladder stores urine. The muscles of the bladder wall remain relaxed while the bladder fills with urine. As the bladder fills to capacity, signals sent to the brain tell a person to find a toilet soon. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra, located at the bottom of the bladder. In men the urethra is long, while in women it is short.

Why are the kidneys important?
————————
The kidneys are important because they keep the composition, or makeup, of the blood stable, which lets the body function. They
prevent the buildup of wastes and extra fluid in the bodykeep levels of electrolytes stable, such as sodium, potassium, and phosphatemake hormones that helpregulate blood pressuremake red blood cellsbones stay strong.
How do the kidneys work?
——————————————
The kidney is not one large filter. Each kidney is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron filters a small amount of blood. The nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process. The glomerulus lets fluid and waste products pass through it; however, it prevents blood cells and large molecules, mostly proteins, from passing. The filtered fluid then passes through the tubule, which sends needed minerals back to the bloodstream and removes wastes. The final product becomes urine.

The main function of human excretory system is to remove the nitrogenous waste such as urea from the body. It includes a pair of Kidneys, a pair of ureters, a urinary bladder and urethra. Kidneys are located in the abdomen, one on either side of the backbone.
Kidney : Structure and Function
The main organ of the human excretory system is kidney. It is reddish Brown and bean- shaped structure, located towards the back of the abdominal cavity, one on each side of the backbone. The left kidney is placed a little higher than the right kidney to adjust in the abdominal cavity. This asymmetry is caused by the position of liver.
The major functions performed by the Kidneys are:
1. Removing excess water from the body and nitrogenous waste from the blood in the form of urine.
2. Maintaining the constant concentration of blood plasma.
3. Regulating the pH of blood.
4. Homeostasis.
