Anatomical Planes
- Midsagittal plane: Divides the body into equal left and right halves.
- Frontal plane: Separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
- Transverse plane: Cuts the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.
Body Cavities
- Cranial cavity: Houses the brain, protected by the skull.
- Thoracic cavity: Contains the heart and lungs, protected by the rib cage.
- Spinal cavity: Encloses the spinal cord within the vertebral column.
- Abdominal cavity: Contains digestive organs, kidneys, and spleen, bordered by the diaphragm and pelvic cavity.
- Pelvic cavity: Contains reproductive organs, bladder, and rectum, enclosed by the pelvis.
- Abdominopelvic cavity: A combined term for both abdominal and pelvic cavities.
Quadrants of the Abdomen
- Right upper quadrant (RUQ): Contains liver, gallbladder, and part of the pancreas.
- Left upper quadrant (LUQ): Houses the stomach, spleen, and part of the pancreas.
- Right lower quadrant (RLQ): Includes the appendix, part of the intestines, and reproductive organs in females.
- Left lower quadrant (LLQ): Contains part of the intestines and reproductive organs in females.
Regions of the Abdomen
