Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
The liver is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Therefore, option a. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Option a. is given as “liver”. The upper right quadrant of the abdomen is present nearer to the diaphragm and the organ liver is attached to the diaphragm. The liver is found in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen.
Hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “spleen ”. The spleen is present to the left of the liver and spleen is present in the left quadrant. So, the spleen is not found in the right quadrant. Hence, option b. is not correct.
Option c. is given as “descending colon”. The descending colon is located in the left quadrant, not in the upper right quadrant. Hence, option c. is not correct.
Option d. is given as “appendix”. The appendix is a part of the larger intestine, it is located in the lower right quadrant, not in the upper. Hence, option d. is not correct.
Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
The liver is the organ of the abdomen that is located in the upper right quadrant. It is the largest organ of the body and it also removes the toxin from the blood.
