Three horizontal lines and two vertical lines create nine regions of the abdomen. “Hypo” refers to “below”, “epi” refers to “above”, “chond-” refers to the cartilage of the rib and “gast-” is in reference to the stomach.The left hypochondrium is the region that the left kidney is located in. This area is one of two regions (left or right) of the abdomen, situated on each side of the epigastrium (above the stomach) and above the lumbar regions.Both are located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area. They sit opposite each other on both the left and right side of the body; the right kidney, however, sits a little lower than the left to accommodate the size of the liver.Odd enough, this is where the seat of melancholy is supposed to be found.
Yes, it is common for one kidney to be slightly larger than the other. As long as both kidneys are functioning properly and there are no other concerning symptoms, slight differences in size like the ones you described are typically considered normal variations.
The kidney receives blood through two renal arteries. One artery supplies blood to left kidney while the other supplies blood to the right kidney. Within the kidney, each artery branches out into arterioles and finally the afferent arterioles.
In the human body, the kidneys are found in the abdominal cavity, one on either side of the midline (left and right) and towards the dorsal surface (back). The right kidney lies slightly lower (caudally) than the left. The left lies between T12 and L3 (vertebrae).
"Frontal" refers to the front portion of the kidney or any structure, sagittal refers to an imaginary plane through the middle of the body, dividing into equal left and right portions. So to take a sagittal section of the kidney is not usually possible as there is one on each side in humans and they are not near the midline.
A kidney transplant is done under anesthesia. The doctor will make an incision in the abdomen, and will take out the old kidney and replace with the new one.
His right one
one is on the left and one is on the right
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.
One kidney may sit higher than the other due to natural variations in anatomy. It is common for one kidney to be positioned slightly higher in the body than the other. This difference in position does not typically affect the function of the kidneys.
Yes, typically one kidney is larger than the other. The right kidney is usually slightly smaller and positioned lower than the left kidney due to the presence of the liver above it. However, the size difference is generally minor and varies among individuals. Both kidneys function similarly despite any size discrepancies.
A person can function perfectly normal with 1 health kidney. The surgery will take one kidney out of the donor (leaving one) and transplanting it into the recipient.
