Concept explainers
To discuss:
Intraperitoneal versus retroperitoneal organs, examples of both, and how one would identify an organ as being intra-or-retroperitoneal.
Introduction:
The study of organ structure is referred to as anatomy. This study is beneficial for identifying the functions of the organs. The anatomical position refers to the identification organs in the appropriate place of the human body. The anatomy deals with the structure of organs, and its position deals with the appropriate place of the particular organs. Hence, it is known by the universal standard by means of correct identification names to the position. Anatomical position is important to study the structural organization of any organisms.
