Study Notes

Abdomen Anatomy

  • The abdomen contains the following organs: liver, gallbladder, ascending colon, small intestine, cecum, appendix, spleen, stomach, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and bladder.
  • The abdominal wall is composed of several layers of muscles, including the external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, and rectus abdominis.
  • The white line (linea alba) is a fibrous band running down the center of the abdomen.
  • Connective tissue layers (aponeurosis) are present between abdominal muscles.
  • The rectus sheath surrounds the rectus abdominis muscle.

Abdominal Regions

  • The abdomen can be divided into four quadrants (RUQ, LUQ, RLQ, LLQ) and nine regions (right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac).
  • Each region contains specific organs.

Landmarks for Abdominal Examination

  • Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ): Liver, gallbladder, pylorus, head of pancreas, portion of right kidney, hepatic flexure of colon
  • Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ): Left lobe of liver, spleen, stomach, body of pancreas, portion of left kidney, splenic flexure of colon
  • Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ): Lower pole of right kidney, cecum, appendix
  • Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ): Lower pole of left kidney, sigmoid colon, portion of descending colon
  • Nine Regions of the Abdomen: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac

Blood Supply

  • Hepatic portal vein: Carries blood from digestive tract to the liver.
  • Abdominal aorta: Major artery supplying blood to abdominal organs.
  • Branches off: Splenic artery, renal artery.
  • Vena cava: Major vein that collects blood from abdominal organs.

Alimentary Tract

  • Mouth to anus, parts are involved in digestion.
  • Includes: esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, large intestine, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.

History of Present Illness (HPI)

  • Onset/duration/character/location/associated symptoms/relationship to/recent stool/urinary characteristics/medication
  • Pain characteristics - onset, duration, quality, location, associated symptoms
  • Pain relative to menstrual cycle, intercourse, etc.
  • Details regarding bowel patterns - frequency, consistency, color, and associated symptoms.
