Be careful not to mix up your right and left regions, as this is where most students make a mistake! Abdominal Quadrants-4 subdivisions of the abdomen, navel (belly button) is the landmark you’ll use to visualize these quadrants. Right upper quadrant- Liver, stomach, gallbladder, duodenum, right kidney, pancreas, and the right adrenal gland. Right lower quadrant- appendix, reproductive organs, right ureter. Left upper quadrant- Liver, stomach, pancreas, left kidney, spleen, and the left adrenal gland. Left lower quadrant- left ureter, reproductive organs NOTE: All four quadrants contain portions of the small and large intestines.  Abdominal Pelvic Regions Right and Left columns have the same exact name and they are named after the bones to which they are nearest. Hypochondriac Regions (Left and Right): the prefix “hypo” means below or under. The word “chondriac” means cartilage, which is referring to the cartilage of the ribs. Lumbar Regions (Left and Right): The word lumbar refers to the vertebrae in your lower back. Iliac Region (Left and Right): The top of the hip bone has what is called the iliac crest. Middle column-named after their location relative to the stomach. Epigastric Region: The prefix “epi” means above, or over, and “gastric” means stomach or belly. Umbilical Region: This is easy to remember because the umbilical region contains your navel, which is also called the umbilicus. Hypogastric Region: We’ve already learned that hypo means “below,” and gastric refers to the https stomach or belly.
