The article mentions the human heart is asymmetrical, which was an exception I thought of immediately. And actually there are many more internal organs that are too (maybe more than are not?), such as:
- lungs (the right has 3 lobes, the left only 2)
- stomach
- pancreas
- instestines
- gall bladder
- liver
I once heard of someone that went to the ER for appendicitis and when they imaged him, some of his internal organs were left-right reversed!
