✓

Answer

Shape and size of kidney: Each kidney of an adult human measures 10-12cm in length, 5-7cm in width, 2-3cm in thickness with an average weight of 120-170g. Structure of kidney: Towards the centre of the inner concave surface of the kidney is a notch called hilum through which ureter, blood vessels and nerves enter. Inner structure: Inner to the hilum is a broad funnel shaped space called the renal pelvis with projections called calyces. The outer layer of kidney is a tough capsule. Inside the kidney, there are two zones, an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The medulla is divided into a few conical masses (medullary pyramids) projecting into the calyces. The cortex extends in between the medullary pyramids as renal columns called Columns of Bertini.
