Location of Kidney
Kidneys are located on the two sides of the spinal cord. The function of the kidneys is to remove specific toxic materials from the body. The toxic chemicals cause damage to the tissues of the organism, and the kidneys must function in the right manner. Kidneys have the function of filtration to remove the toxic chemicals from the blood.
