two bean shaped organs where blood filtration happens
A
kidneys
B
bladder
C
ureters
D
urethra
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter your blood. Your kidneys are part of your urinary system. Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of fluid every day-enough to fill a large bathtub. During this process, your kidneys remove waste, which leaves your body as urine (pee).

Detailed explanation-2: -Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a very small filter, called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule. As blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste products are filtered out.

Detailed explanation-3: -Internally, the kidney has three regions-an outer cortex, a medulla in the middle, and the renal pelvis in the region called the hilum of the kidney. The hilum is the concave part of the bean-shape where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the kidney; it is also the point of exit for the ureters.

Detailed explanation-4: -The camel kidney is bean shaped, smooth, multilobar, unipapillary, in which the fusion of renal papillae is complete forming a common renal papilla or crest, which channel urine into a central renal pelvis.
