Is liver below diaphragm?

I was discussing anatomy with my son, and we got into a debate about the position of organs. Can anyone confirm if the liver is actually located below the diaphragm?

Yes, the liver is located directly below the diaphragm on the right side of your abdominal cavity. It's a basic anatomical fact. If you are feeling pain in that area, don't ignore it and get it checked.

Yes, it is! The diaphragm sits right above your stomach and liver, separating your chest from your abdomen. So the liver is definitely located right below it on your right side.

I know how scary it feels when you start worrying about where your organs are and if something is wrong. Yes, the liver is situated just below the diaphragm on the right. If you are feeling any discomfort there, please talk to a doctor to ease your mind.

Yes, the liver is anatomically positioned directly under the diaphragm. However, if you are asking because you are experiencing pressure, pain, or tightness in that specific area, please consult a doctor to get a proper physical examination.

Yes, that's exactly where it is! It sits comfortably right under your diaphragm on the upper right side. It's the body's largest internal organ, doing some heavy lifting for us every day.
