Is liver under ribs?
I'm learning about human anatomy, and I always get confused about the exact placement of organs. Could someone please clarify, is the liver located right under the ribs?

Yes, the liver is located on the right side of your body, mostly tucked safely under your rib cage. When we practice deep abdominal breathing, we can feel how the diaphragm moves gently against these organs.

From what my doctor told me during an ultrasound last year, yes, it sits right under the right rib cage. I had some soreness there and that's how I found out about its exact location.

Yes, the liver is situated in the upper right portion of your abdomen, protected by your rib cage. If you are feeling pain or pressure under your right ribs, it's best to have a doctor examine it.

Yes, it's under the right ribs. If you are having pain there and need to get an ultrasound, check out local diagnostic labs because prices vary a lot, and you can save some money by comparing.

Yes, actually it is! It's on the right side, right below your chest and behind the lower ribs. I always used to get confused between the left and right side before!

Yes, it is on the upper right side of your belly, protected by the rib cage. If you're experiencing swelling or sharp pain there, skip the internet search and just get an ultrasound done.

Haan bro, it is on the right side right under the ribs. I had a side pain after running once and thought it was my liver, but my doc said it was just a muscle cramp.
