    Study Notes

    Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions

    • Abdominopelvic quadrants consist of four sections: Right Upper Quadrant, Right Lower Quadrant, Left Upper Quadrant, Left Lower Quadrant.
    • Abdominopelvic regions divide the area into nine sections: Right Hypochondriac, Epigastric, Left Hypochondriac, Right Lumbar, Umbilical, Left Lumbar, Right Inguinal, Hypogastric (pubic), Left Inguinal.

    Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)

    • Contains the right portion of the liver, gallbladder, right kidney, duodenum, head of pancreas, portions of ascending and transverse colon, and parts of the small intestine.
    • Pain in this region may indicate gallbladder or liver infection, or peptic ulcers.

    Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)

    • Houses the left portion of the liver, part of the stomach, pancreas, left kidney, spleen, and segments of the transverse and descending colon.
    • Pain may suggest issues like malrotation of the intestine and colon.

    Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)

    • Contains the cecum, appendix, part of the small intestine, right half of the female reproductive system, and right ureter.
    • Commonly associated with appendicitis-related pain.

    Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)

    • Comprises the majority of the small intestine, parts of the large intestine, left half of the female reproductive system, and left ureter.
    • Pain in this area is linked to colitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ovarian cysts.

    Right Hypochondriac Region

    • Encompasses the right part of the liver, gallbladder, right kidney, and portions of the small intestine.

    Left Hypochondriac Region

    • Contains part of the spleen, left kidney, part of the stomach, pancreas, and sections of the colon.

    Epigastric Region

    • Includes most of the stomach, parts of the liver, pancreas, duodenum, spleen, and adrenal glands.
    • This area expands during diaphragmatic contraction with breathing.

    Lumbar Regions

    • Right Lumbar consists of the gallbladder, left kidney, part of the liver, and ascending colon.
    • Left Lumbar contains the descending colon, left kidney, and part of the spleen.

    Umbilical Region

    • Houses the umbilicus and significant portions of the small intestine, transverse colon, and parts of both kidneys.

    Inguinal Regions

    • Right Inguinal contains the appendix, cecum, and right iliac fossa; pain is often linked to appendicitis.
    • Left Inguinal houses parts of the descending colon and sigmoid colon.

    Hypogastric Region

    • Encompasses organs around the pubic bone, including bladder, sigmoid colon, anus, uterus, ovaries (females), and prostate (males).

    Dorsal Cavity

    • A continuous cavity on the body's dorsal side housing the upper central nervous system organs: brain and spinal cord.
    • Composed of cranial and vertebral cavities, protected by the meninges.

    Cranial Cavity

    • Anterior part of the dorsal cavity within the skull, contains the brain, its meninges, and cerebrospinal fluid.

    Vertebral Cavity

    • Posterior section within the vertebral column that contains the spinal cord and its protective meninges.

    Ventral Cavity

    • Located at the body's front, housing various organ systems, also referred to as viscera.
    • Divided by the diaphragm into anterior and posterior portions, comprising thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.

    Thoracic Cavity

    • Found within the rib cage, contains primary organs of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems including the heart and lungs.
    • Lined by pleura around the lungs and pericardium around the heart.

    Abdominopelvic Cavity

    • Located beneath the thoracic cavity, divided into abdominal and pelvic cavities, housing digestive, renal, and some endocrine organs.
    • Lined by peritoneum and lacks bony confinement.

    Pleura and Pericardium Membranes

    • Parietal Pleura: outer serous membrane affixed to thoracic cavity inner surface.
    • Visceral Pleura: delicate membrane covering lung surfaces.
    • Parietal Pericardium: serous layer in contact with fibrous pericardium.
    • Visceral Pericardium: inner layer surrounding the heart and its major vessels.

    Peritoneum

    • Parietal Peritoneum: lines abdominal and pelvic cavities.
    • Visceral Peritoneum: covers the external surfaces of most abdominal organs, including intestinal tract.
