Kidney. Pathologist holding a kidney during a post-mortem. The kidneys are abdominal organs that are part of the excretory system, producing urine by filtering the blood. Post-mortem examinations, also known as autopsies, are carried out to identify a cause of death, and to assess the health of a dead person's organs. Here, the kidney has been cut in half to allow an examination of its interior.
