Study Notes
Abdominopelvic Cavity
- The serous membrane that covers the organs within the abdominal and pelvic cavities is called peritoneum.
- The stomach is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
- The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into four quadrants.
- The peritoneum is the serous membrane that covers the abdominal and pelvic organs.
Layers of Abdominopelvic Serous Membranes
- The visceral layer is in direct contact with the abdominal and pelvic organs.
Liver Location
- The liver is most likely located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
Organs Location
- The liver is primarily located in the right upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
- The small intestine is typically found in the left lower quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
- The stomach is primarily located in the left upper quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
- The appendix is typically found in the right lower quadrant of the abdominopelvic cavity.
Pleura and Lungs
- The visceral layer of the pleura covers the lungs.
- The parietal pleura is located adjacent to the thoracic wall and diaphragm.
- The function of the pleural cavity is to allow for the expansion and contraction of the lungs during breathing.
