Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the kidney: The kidney is a bean-shaped organ with a concave notch known as the hilum located on its medial side.
Identify the function of the hilum: The hilum is the entry and exit site for structures such as renal blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics, and the ureter.
Clarify the location of the hilum: The hilum is specifically located on the medial side of the kidney, not the lateral side.
Evaluate the given descriptions: Compare each description with the anatomical facts about the hilum.
