Expert Solution
Step 1

Kidneys are the pair of bean shaped red color organs that are the crucial part of the excretory system. They are located on either side of your spine, below the ribs and behind the belly. The Kidney is divided into renal cortex and renal medulla. The unit of kidney is called nephrons. The kidney functions in filtering the wastes and excess fluids from your blood which is then excreted in the form of urine. 

The two sets of capillaries in the kidney are glomerulus capillary and peritubular capillary. The glomerulus is the tuft of capillaries embedded inside the membrane bound capsule called bowman capsule.
