Kidney Location and Shape
■■■■■
A subtle but common misremembering about the kidneys, often concerning their exact position (lower than they are) or their bean-like shape being more pronounced than anatomical diagrams show.
●
What People Remember
People sometimes remember kidneys being positioned much lower in the abdomen or having a more exaggerated bean shape than they actually do.
◉
What's Actually True
The kidneys are located higher than many expect, just below the rib cage on either side of the spine. Their 'bean' shape is more subtle and complex than often depicted in simplified illustrations.
