What region is the liver in?

I was feeling a pain on my right side and my doctor said it could be related to my liver. Exactly where in the body is the liver located?

I always thought it was somewhere in the middle, but after looking it up, it's mostly on the right side under the rib cage, right? So interesting how our organs are placed!

The liver is primarily located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, tucked under the rib cage. A small portion extends into the upper left quadrant. It's a very vital organ. If you have any discomfort there, please consult a medical professional.

It's tucked away on the upper right side of your tummy, under the ribs! 😊 Super important organ, so keep it happy! ✨

It's on your right side, just below your ribs. Once I had some pain there, and everyone was worried it was my liver. Luckily, it wasn't serious for me, but any discomfort in that region should always be checked by a doctor, just to be safe.

Oh, that's easy! It's on the right side of your stomach area, under your ribs. Like, if you poke yourself there, that's where it roughly is. My bio prof taught us this last semester lol.
