The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine that filter the blood and remove waste from the body in the form of urine. Urine travels from the kidneys through ureters that connect to the urinary bladder, where it is temporarily stored until the bladder contracts and forces urine out through the urethra.
