Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The cells of the body require water balance in order to work properly. The body needs to maintain the balance between the water intake and water release, this regulation is done by the kidneys. Human consists of two kidneys that are bean-shaped and approximately 11.5 cm (centimeter) long, located in the abdominal kidney.
