Solution

Kidney:

  1. In the abdominal cavity, there are two bean-shaped structures on either side of the backbone known as Kidneys.
  2. It is the major excretory organ for liquid waste excretion in the form of urine.
  3. Because the liver takes up a lot of room on the right side and pushes it down, the right kidney is slightly lower than the left kidney.

Three functions of the kidney:

  1. The kidney aids in water and electrolyte balance control.
  2. It helps in the elimination of metabolic waste.
  3. It aids in the reabsorption of beneficial substances in the body and controls blood pH.
