    The document discusses the organization of organs in the abdominal cavity into four quadrants and nine regions. The four quadrants are the right upper, right lower, left upper, and left lower quadrants. Each quadrant contains specific organs. The nine abdominal regions are the umbilical, epigastric, hypogastric, left and right lumbar, and left and right hypochondriac and iliac regions. Each region also contains particular organs.

    ORGANS IN THE BODY QUADRANTS AND REGIONS

    Body Quadrants and Regions -A scheme commonly used by medical personnel divides the abdominopelvic cavity into four or less equal regions called quadrants

    FOUR ABDOMINAL QUADRANTS RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT Liver Gallbladder Duodenum Head of the pancreas Right Adrenal gland Upper lobe of right kidney Hepatic flexure of colon Section of ascending colon Section of transverse colon RIGHT LOWER QUADRANT Lower lobe of right kidney Section of ascending colon Right fallopian tube (female) Right ovary (female) Part of uterus (if enlarged) Right spermatic cord (male) Cecum Appendix Right ureter LEFT UPPER QUADRANT Left lower part of liver Upper lobe of left kidney Splenic flexure of colon Section of transverse colon Section of descending colon Stomach Spleen Pancreas Left Adrenal gland LEFT LOWER QUADRANT Lower lobe of left kidney Section of descending colon Left spermatic cord (male) Part of uterus (if enlarged) Sigmoid colon Left ureter Left ovary (female) Left fallopian tube (female)

    NINE ABDOMINAL REGIONS Umbilical- around the umbilicus Epigastric- located superior to the umbilical region (Epi = above, gastric = stomach) Hypogastric (Hypo = below, gastric = stomach). Left Lumbar and Right Lumbar- the lumbar region is the lower back (Lumbus-loin) Left Iliac and Right Iliac or inguinal (iliac=superior part of the hip bone) Left Hypochondriac and Right Hypochondriac- flank the epigastric region and contain the lower ribs (chondro = cartilage)

    RIGHT HYPOCHONDRIAC Right lobe of liver Gallbladder Part of duodenum Hepatic flexure of colon Upper half of right kidney Suprarenal gland RIGHT LUMBAR Ascending colon Lower half of right kidney Part of duodenum and jejunum RIGHT INGUINAL/ILIAC Cecum Appendix Lower end of ileum Right ureter Right spermatic cord (male) Right ovary (female)

    EPIGASTRIC Aorta Pyloric end of stomach Part of duodenum Pancreas Part of liver UMBILICAL Omentum Mesentery Lower part of duodenum Part of jejunum and ileum HYPOGASTRIC Ileum Bladder (if enlarged) Uterus (if enlarged)

    LEFT HYPOCHONDRIAC Stomach Spleen Tail of pancreas Splenic flexure of colon Upper half of left kidney Suprarenal gland LEFT LUMBAR Descending colon Lower half of left kidney Part of jejunum and ileum LEFT INGUINAL/ILIAC Sigmoid colon Left ureter Left spermatic cord (male) Left ovary (female)
