The kidneys are located in the posterior abdominal cavity, one on each side of the spine, typically at the level of the T12 to L3 vertebrae. They are held in place by a combination of renal fascia, which is a protective layer of connective tissue, and perinephric fat that cushions and anchors them. Additionally, the surrounding abdominal organs and the diaphragm help provide some structural support.

What bones provide some protection for the kidneys?

The kidneys are primarily protected by the lower ribs, specifically the 11th and 12th ribs, which form part of the rib cage. Additionally, the pelvis provides some protection, as the kidneys are located retroperitoneally, nestled against the back muscles and held in place by surrounding fat and connective tissue. This anatomical arrangement helps shield the kidneys from external trauma.
