Abdominopelvic Quadrants

Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ): Contains most of the liver, approximately half of the colon (large intestine), parts of the small intestine, gallbladder, right kidney, and right adrenal gland.
Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ): Houses the cecum, appendix, parts of the small intestine, and half of the urinary bladder.
Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ): Composed of the stomach, spleen, half of the colon, parts of the small intestine, most of the pancreas, left kidney, and left adrenal gland.
Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ): Holds parts of the small intestine, sigmoid colon, and half of the urinary bladder.
