The left kidney is placed a little higher than the right kidney?Give reason. |
|
Answer» The right kidney is slightly lower than the left kidney due to the presence of large liver on the right side of the body. The liver is broader on the right side and it tapers gradually on the left side. The kidneys lie behind the peritoneum that lines the abdominal cavity. The left kidney\xa0is located slightly more superior\xa0than the right kidney\xa0due to the larger size of the liver on the\xa0right\xa0side of the body. Unlike the other abdominal organs, the\xa0kidneys\xa0lie behind the peritoneum that lines the abdominal cavity and are thus considered to be retroperitoneal organs. |
