Answer: The kidneys are situated in between posterior abdominal wall and partial peritoneum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kidneys are located at the dorsal side of the body of vertebrates including humans. These are located opposite to the spine. The location of the kidney is the retroperitoneal space that lies in between the posterior abdominal wall and partial peritoneum. Peritoneum is the serous membrane which forms the lining of the abdominal cavity. It also covers the kidneys from the dorsal side. The kidneys are well protected by muscles and fat at the dorsal side.
