The liver is primarily located in the upper right quadrant, just below the diaphragm, mostly under the ribs. It also extends across the middle of the upper abdomen and part way into the left upper abdomen. It is an irregularly shaped, dome-like solid structure The liver consists of two main parts (a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe) and two minor lobes. During inspiration, the liver is pushed down by the diaphragm and the lower edge of the liver descends below the margin of the lowest rib (costal margin).just below the diaphramAlthough the liver can extend to the middle of the abdomen (and even span the width of the abdomen, in diseased individuals), a healthy liver is located just below the diaphragm (where the ribs stop), and is situated mostly on the right side of the abdomen.The liver is located under the diaphragm, with its greater mass on it's right side and extending just a little bit more to the left from the middline.In other words:If you palpate carefully just under your right coastal arch (under your right ribs) and a bit upward you might feel your liver.It is located on the top right side of the abdomen. It fills the whole of the right done under the diaphragm and projects into the left dome too.It is located on the top right side of the abdomen.

Two descriptive methods of subdividing the abdomen are the nine-region system and the four-quadrant system. The nine-region system divides the abdomen into regions such as the right hypochondrium, epigastric, and left hypochondrium, among others, providing a detailed anatomical framework. In contrast, the four-quadrant system simply splits the abdomen into the right upper, right lower, left upper, and left lower quadrants, offering a more straightforward approach for clinical assessments and diagnoses.
A hypochondriac region is a term used in anatomy to describe the upper lateral region of the abdomen on either side of the epigastric region. It is located beneath the cartilage of the lower ribs and is part of the abdominal cavity where organs like the liver, gallbladder, and part of the stomach are located.
No. The liver is located in at least 2 areas and in 3 depending on which text you read. The two areas all text agree on is the Right Hypochondriac and the Epigastric region while some also include the Left Hypochondriac as well. The inguinal region is a sub cavity of the Pelvic region and is just above the Pubic region. Commonly referred to as the groin area.
Anatomically speaking the two are not related. While the former lies in the thorax, the latter is in the abdomen. But the heart can be considered superior to the liver, with diaphragm and other structures in between.
The largest organ in the body cavity in a frog is the liver. However, the skin is considered to be the largest organ only that it is not in the body cavity.according to "dissection of a frog" (great fun *sarcasm*) i believe that the liver is the largest organ :)The liver is the largest internal organ in a frog.
Myriapods have two main body regions: the head region (cephalothorax) and the trunk region (abdomen). The head region contains the mouthparts and sensory organs, while the trunk region consists of multiple segments that bear legs.
The epigastric region refers to the upper middle portion of the abdominal area. The liver, kidneys, stomach, small intestine, transverse colon, pancreas, and spleen are all in this area.However, not all of these organs are contained entirely to this area and overlap into other regions.
You have nine regions of the abdomen. You have two mid clavicle lines going vertically. One horizontal line going below the costa or ribs. One horizontal line going across the iliac crest. So you have epigastric region, umbilical region and hypo gastric region from top to bottom, between two mid clavicle lines. You have two hypochondriac regions, two lumber regions and two iliac fossae on either side of the mid clavicle lines.
After two weeks the normal jaundice of the newborn will not disappear.the stools will probably be clay-colored.the child's abdomen will begin to swell.Nearly all untreated children will die of liver failure within two years.
