No, they are not. There is always some side difference between the two. For humans, there is the fact of handedness. One hand is dominate and that side will always be larger. The fingernails on that side will grow faster.Inside the body, there is even a larger difference. The heart actually lays on the dome of the diaphragm and is mostly to the left. The lungs are different sizes, there are two lobes on the left side and three on the right. The liver has two lobes, the much larger one is left and the smaller is right. The left kidney is higher than the right. There is more of the colon on the left. The appendix is on the right. The gall bladder is on the right and most of the stomach is mostly on the left.

What is a dilated pupil?

There are many things that can dilate the pupil of the eye. First of all, light plays a huge factor.

Pupils also dilate when focusing on different planes of vision, as well as different distances.
