answered-by-expert Expert Answer
(i)The external appearance of the kidney is dark-red and bean-shaped. They look very similar to red kidney beans. 
(ii) The concave section is known as the hilum. This is where the renal artery, the renal vein and the ureter enter or exit the kidney.
(iii) Each kidney is enclosed in a semi-transparent membrane called the renal capsule.
(iv) The internal structure of the kidney is divided into two main areas- a light outer area called the renal cortex and a darker inner area called the renal medulla
(v) The ureter is a long narrow duct (tube) that conveys urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
