The right hemidiaphragm is typically higher than the left due to the presence of the liver, which is situated immediately beneath it, pushing it upward. In contrast, the left hemidiaphragm is lower because it has more space, accommodating the heart and the stomach. This anatomical difference helps maintain the normal function of the diaphragm during breathing.

Which hilum of the lung is higher?

The left hilum is higher than the right, due to the presence of the heart in the cardiac notch (in the left lung). 'The left hilium is situated slightly higher than the right pulmonary artery' (Miller 2006), and the hilium consists of the pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins and bronchioles. Reference: Miller W (2006) Diagnostic Thoracic Imaging. Chapter 14, p732


Why is the left ureter longer than the right?

The left ureter is typically longer than the right due to the position of the left kidney being higher than the right kidney. This difference in position influences the length of the ureters on each side.


Is the pressure in the left atrium higher than right?

Yes, the pressure in the left atrium should be much higher than the pressure on the right side. The left atrium has to push blood into the left ventricle, which is much tougher and more muscular because it has to push blood throughout the entire body. The right atrium only has to fill the right ventricle, which is only pushing blood through the lungs.


Why is blood pressure higher in left ventricle than in right ventricle?

The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.


Why does the left side of the heart have bigger muscle?

Because the pressure on the left side of human heart is higher than the right side of human heart.

Is the pressure in the right ventricle higher or lower than the left ventricle?

The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle).

What is cardiac silhouette?

Normal heart sizeThe cardiac silhouette is the most prominent central feature of the chest x-ray and it produces a familiar gourd shape with the apex of the left ventricle located just behind the left chest nipple. The inferior left ventricle wall lies on the left diaphragm and the superior base of the heart shows the aortic knob lying just to the left of the spine. A linear line descending from it, lying to the left of the spine, represents the lateral edge of the descending aorta. A normal cardiac silhouette is defined by the lower cross diameter of the heart from its right atrial boundary to the left ventricle apex occupying no more than one half the internal thoracic diameter. The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) at its junction with the left main pulmonary artery is concave. Note that the right hemidiaphragm is higher than the left because of the presence of the liver and not due to the weight of the heart since the same relationship occurs with dextrocardia.

Which kidney is higher?

The right kidney sits under the liver, the largest internal organ. So it's lower down (2-8cm lower) than the left kidney which is under the spleen, a much smaller organ. The tops of the spleen and liver are pretty much in line due to the diaphragm, which is why where their lower borders are makes such a difference.
