Kidneys are bean-shaped structures located on either side of the backbone and are protected by the ribs and muscles of the back. Each human adult kidney has a length of 10-12 cm, a width of 5-7 cm and weighs around 120-170g.
The kidneys have an inner concave structure. At the centre, there is a notch called hilum through which the blood vessels and nerves enter the organ. Towards the inner surface of the hilum, there is a large funnel-shaped space called renal pelvis with projections called calyces.
