The four quadrants indicate regions of your abdomen, not the entire torso, and not the back. The organs in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) are the liver, gall bladder, part of the pancreas, and the first section of the small intestine (the duodenum).

The upper-right quadrant of a planar x-y graph space represents all points such that x and y are both positive values. This rectangular coordinate system, also known as the Cartesian coordinate system, is defined by two perpendicular axes. By convention, the horizontal axis is the x axis (positive values to the right, negatives to the left), and the vertical is the y (positive up and negative down). The quadrants are numbered counterclockwise from the upper right.
