Anatomical Description of the KIDNEYS. ripHERE are two Kidneys in an human Body^ 1 both placed in the lower Belly, or Abdomen; the right Kidney is fituated tinder the Liver, the left between the Spleen and Mufculus Lumbaris, and both under the Duplicature of the Peritonaeum. They have each two Membranes, one common from the Peritonaeum, and the other proper from the ex¬ terior Coat of the Blood-Veffels.

From each of thefe Gbnds ilfue out the Tubuli Beliiniani, which extend themfelves toward the Pelvis of the Kidneys, form the Papillre, adjoining to which is the Fiftula Membranacea, through which the Urine is emptied into the Pelvis, that it might be diicharged by tire Ureters into the Bladder. The Blood remaining after the Secretion of the U- rine, is tarried back to the Heart, by the minute capil¬ lary Veins, which ariie from the Extremities of the: arterial!
