The pair of purplish-darker organs is situated beneath the ribs toward the center of the back. Their capacity is to expel fluid waste from the blood as pee; keep a steady adjust of salts and different substances in the blood; and deliver erythropoietin, a hormone that guides the arrangement of red platelets.
