How the two kidneys differ in location and size?
The two kidneys differ in location due to the presence of the liver on the right side of the body, which pushes the right kidney slightly lower than the left. Typically, the left kidney is positioned higher than the right kidney, sitting at about the level of the T12 to L3 vertebrae, while the right kidney sits lower, around the level of L1 to L4. In terms of size, the left kidney is often slightly larger than the right kidney, although the difference in size is generally minimal.
What is the function of the left kidney?
The left kidney functions similarly to the right kidney, filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood to form urine. It also helps regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and produce hormones that contribute to red blood cell production.
Why does one kidney sit higher up than the other?
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.

Why is the right kidney is lower than the left kidney?
Because the right kidney is just below the liver and left kidney below spleen. Liver being larger in size on right side pushes right kidney a little downward, but such an action is not taken by spleen because of its small size on left side.
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.
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.

Difference between frontal and sagittal section of kidney?
"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.
