Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys are paired (bilateral) and located in the retroperitoneal space, meaning they are behind the peritoneum - the lining of the abdominal cavity. The left kidney is slightly higher than the right, but they are both in the same general area. Option A is incorrect as the liver is located above the kidneys. Option D is incorrect as the kidneys are not located in the anterior abdominal wall.
