Study Notes
Abdominopelvic Quadrants
- Four abdominopelvic quadrants are identified for medical diagnostics.
Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
- Contains the liver, gall bladder, duodenum, part of pancreas, right kidney, colon, and stomach.
Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
- Houses the liver, stomach, spleen, part of pancreas, small and large intestines, and left kidney.
Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
- Includes small and large intestines, appendix, bladder, right ureter, and reproductive organs (right ovary and uterine tube in women or right spermatic duct in men).
Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)
- Contains small and large intestines, bladder, left ureter, and reproductive organs (left ovary in female and left spermatic cord in male).
Abdominopelvic Regions
- Nine abdominopelvic regions provide further anatomical reference.
Right Hypochondriac Region
- Located in the superior right area; contains part of the liver, gall bladder, and part of the right kidney.
Left Hypochondriac Region
- Situated in the superior left area; includes the stomach, spleen, left colic flexure of the large intestine, and part of the left kidney.
Epigastric Region
- The upper central region; contains parts of the liver, stomach, duodenum, part of pancreas, and both adrenal glands.
Right Lumbar Region
- Located in the mid-right area; contains ascending colon, right colic flexure of large intestine, superior part of cecum, part of right kidney, and part of small intestine.
Left Lumbar Region
- Found in the mid-left area; includes descending colon, part of left kidney, and part of small intestine.
Umbilical Region
- The middle region; contains the middle part of the transverse colon, part of small intestine, and branches of blood vessels to lower limbs.
Right Iliac Region
- The inferior right area; contains the inferior end of cecum, appendix, and part of small intestine.
Left Iliac Region
- Located in the inferior left area; contains junction parts of the colon and part of small intestine.
Hypogastric Region
- The inferior middle area; contains part of the small intestine, bladder, and sigmoid colon of the large intestine.
