Why are kidneys called retroperitonal

Answers

Answered by hmedical44

Answer:

The kidneys are considered retroperitoneal organs, which means they sit behind a lining in the abdominal cavity, unlike all other abdominal organs.

Explanation:

So I would start by defining the word Retroperitoneal: means an area outside or behind the peritoneum. This means that the kidney is covered by peritoneum near or under the spinal cord ( ventral side).

Due to this position of the kidneys we say that kidneys are retroperitoneal body wise.
