multiple choice question
the kidneys are located along the ________ abdominal wall.
o posterior
o anterior

Explanation:

The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs. Retroperitoneal means located behind the peritoneum (the membrane lining the abdominal cavity). So, they are along the posterior (back - side) abdominal wall. The anterior (front - side) abdominal wall is where organs like the stomach (in part) and intestines (in part) are more anteriorly placed in the abdominal cavity.

Answer:

posterior
