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.

The body is divided into equal vertical left and right halves by the?
Coronal plane.
The left side of your brain controls what part of the body?
Your two hemispheres of the brain control movements on the opposite sides of your body. Your right somatic cortex controls your left side and your left somatic cortex controls your right side.
Are humans bodies symmetrical?
Humans, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
What are some continuous variation in humans?
eyes, hair, fingers and toes, vertebrates... most common body parts
What side is your kidneys on?
your left and your right side... you have two kidneys total, one on each sideI'm assuming you meant to say side*. If that is the case, then to answer your question, your kidneys are found on both sides of your body. One on the left and one on the right. They are found in the lower abdominal cavity, partially covered by the 11th and 12th ribs of the rib cage.Fun Fact! -> The right kidney is actually located a couple inches lower than the left because it is crowded by the much larger liver.
Do vertebrates have equal sides of the body?
All vertebrates display bilateral symmetry.
What plane divides the brain into equal left and right sides?
The midsagittal plane divides the right and left sides of the brain into two equal sections. A plane divides the body into two equal sides.
Does a midsagittal plane divide body into equal parts?
the frontal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior. or front and back.
What is the definition of bilateral symmetry?
It's the balanced distribution of body part on both sides a the spinal cord in vertebrates, or on both sides of the thorax in insects. People have an arm and a leg on both sides of the spinal cord.
Which sectional view of the body is produced by a slice along the median plane?
The midsagittal plane divides the body into equal left and right sides. Envision a line from the tip of your head to your nose, to your belly button, to the pubic symphysis. Cut along this line and you will have two equal halves of the body.
Where are a spiders legs found?
On the left and right sides of it's body.

What does the left side of the body do?
Everything that the right side does except for the fact that your heart exists on the left side of your body. The body is not sectioned into left and right, since the left and right sides do not have their own jobs. There are left and right sides of the brain, the left hemisphere controlling math and logic and the right controlling visual imagery and music.
What gives vertebrates shape?
Vertebrates maintain a specific body shape based upon their skeletons.
What has only one line of symmetry two sets of equal sides and only one set of matching angles?
An irregular pentagon such as a child's silhouette of a house: a rectangle shape (open at the top) forming the body of the house, with a triangular roof on of the rectangle. The vertical line through the apex of the roof is the line of symmetry. The two walls, and the two roof lines are the two sets of equal sides. The two right angles at the base are the one set of matching angles.
What does Midsagittal mean in medical terms?
Midsaggital refers to an imaginary plane running down the length of the patient's body that divides it in half with one arm and one leg on each side.Mid-sagittal divides the body into two equal left and right sides.
