The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the surfaces of the kidney, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure of the Kidney**: - The kidney is bean-shaped and has two distinct surfaces: a medial surface and a lateral surface. 2. **Identify the Medial Surface**: - The medial surface of the kidney faces the midline of the body. It is the side that is oriented towards the center of the body. 3. **Identify the Lateral Surface**: - The lateral surface of the kidney is the outer side that faces away from the midline. It is oriented towards the sides of the body. 4. **Determine the Shape of Each Surface**: - The medial surface is concave, meaning it curves inward. - The lateral surface is convex, meaning it curves outward. 5. **Fill in the Blanks**: - Based on the above observations, we can conclude: - Medial surface of kidney is **"concave"** while lateral surface is **"convex"**. ### Final Answer: Medial surface of kidney are **"concave"** while lateral surface is **"convex"**. ---
