Single-kidney anatomy. Artwork showing a posterior (from behind) view of human kidneys in relation to the main torso blood vessels (vena cava, blue; aorta, red) and the male abdomen. One kidney (brown, upper right) has a normal appearance. The other is diseased or missing. The function of the kidneys is to filter waste products such as urea from the blood to form urine. The urine drains to the bladder through the ureters (tubes running downwards). Humans have two kidneys, but can function with only one. The iliac arteries and veins of the groin and pelvis are partially shown.
