ABDOMEN

LIVER

liver is a wedge shaped organ has 2 lobes ( right and left ) and 5 surfaces Anterior surface , Posterior surface , Superior surface , Inferior surface , Right surface.

STOMACH

Stomach has 2 borders called greater curvature and lesser curvature . It is shaped like a J bag and has superior and inferior surfaces.

In classical anatomy the human stomach is divided into four sections, beginning at the cardia.[7]

  • The cardia is where the contents of the esophagus empty into the stomach.[8]
  • The fundus (from Latin 'bottom') is formed in the upper curved part.
  • The body is the main, central region of the stomach.
  • The pylorus (from Greek 'gatekeeper') is the lower section of the stomach that empties contents into the duodenum.

KIDNEY

The human kidney is a bean-shaped structure with a convex and a concave border.[11] A recessed area on the concave border is the renal hilum, where the renal artery enters the kidney and the renal vein and ureter leave. The kidney is surrounded by tough fibrous tissue, the renal capsule, which is itself surrounded by perirenal fat, renal fascia, and pararenal fat. The anterior (front) surface of these tissues is the peritoneum, while the posterior (rear) surface is the transversalis fascia.

The superior pole of the right kidney is adjacent to the liver. For the left kidney, it is next to the spleen. Both, therefore, move down upon inhalation.
