Your question is missing some information. The normal liver always crosses the midclavicular line. The missing information: how many centimeters did it percuss to at the midclavicular line.

What is the midclavicular line?
A midclavicular line (or midclavicular plane) is a vertical line crossing through the left or right clavicle.
How do you auscultate apical heartbeat?
The aprical pulse is located midclavicular line, at the 5th intercostal space.
Is abdomen is divided into nine regions the superior horizontal line is called the midclavicular line?
No, the superior horizontal line dividing the abdomen into nine regions is called the subcostal line. The midclavicular line is a vertical line that passes through the midpoint of the clavicle.
Where is the apical pulse located?
5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line
Needle thoracentesis is accomplished at the what intercostal space mid-axcillary line or what intercostal space mid clavicular line?
from what I've read its the following mid clavicular = 5-7 mid axillary = 7-9 paravetebral = 9-11 i believe that it is the second in the midclavicular and either 6,7, or 8 in he midaxillary
What are the specialized reticuloendothelial cells that line the liver called?
The reticuloendothelial cellslocated in the blood cavities of the liver are calledKupffer cells.
Where would you find the kupffer cells of the liver?
They line the sinusoids.
Where is point of maximal impuls?
The point of maximal impulse (PMI) is the location where the heart is closest to the surface of the body. As there is less distance and tissue to impede the transmission of movement from the heart, the perceived impulse is felt most strongly at this point. In adults it is frequently found in the fifth intercostal space just medial to the left midclavicular line. In infants and young children the PMI may be found just left of the midclavicular line and at either the 3rd or 4th intercostal space. Identification of location of the PMI, assessment of its mechanical character, and auscultation of the area are often of diagnostic value in the physical examination of the cardiovascular system.
Which method is better for comparing the size and shape of an enlarged or reduced figure to the original?
Compare the length of a line common to both, this is the scale value
Kupffer cells are phagocytes located in the?
Kupffer cells are phagocytes which line the sinusoids of the liver.
What is graphical scale?
=(mapping) A graduated line that indicates the length of miles or kilometers as they appear on a map; the line has the advantage of remaining true after the map is enlarged or reduced in reproduction. Also known as bar scale. =
