What abdominal quadrant best describes the location of the sigmoid colon?
The sigmoid colon is located in the lower left quadrant of the abdomen.
What is 12 cm proximal to the splenic flexure?
It would be near the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
What body cavity is the Colon located in?
Lower right and left quadrant
What organs are in the 4 quadrants in the abdomen?
There are four quadrants in the abdomen (quad meaning four) they are:* Right upper quadrant * Left upper quadrant * Right lower quadrant * Left lower quadrant The areas of the abdomen can also be described in more detail by dividing it into nine regions:* The umbilical region this is the middle region which surrounds the umbilicus. The umbilical region contains the transverse colon of the large intestine * The epigastric region this is the region just above (superior to) the umbilical region and contains the stomach * The hypogastric (or pubic) region is just under (inferior to) the umbilical region and contains the urinary bladder and the appendix * The right iliac (or inguinal) region is located to the right of the hypogastric region and contains the caecum. * The left iliac (inguinal) region is located to the left of the hypogastric region and contains the initial part of the sigmoid colon * The right lumbar region is to the right of the umbilical region (and above the right iliac region) and contains the ascending colon of the large intestine * The left lumbar region is to the left of the umbilical region (and above the left iliac region) and contains the descending colon of the large intestine * The right hypochondriac region is to the right of the epigastric region (and above the right lumbar region) and contains the liver and the gallbladder * The left hypochondriac region is to the left of the epigastric region (and above the left lumbar region) and contains part of the stomach and part of the descending colon.
What are the four quadrants of the abdominal region?
Right upper quadrant - liver: right lobe, gallbladder, stomach: pylorus, doudenum: part 1-3, pancreas: head, right suprarenal gland, right kidney, right colic (hepatic) flexure, ascending colon: superior part, transverse colon: right half Left upper quadrant - liver: left lobe, spleen, stomach, jejunum and proximal ileum, pancreas: body and tail, left kidney, left suprarenal gland, left colic (splenic) flexure, transverse colon: left half, descending colon: superior half Right lower quadrant - cecum, vermiform appendix, most of ileum, ascending colon: inferior part, right ovary, right uterine tube, right ureter: abdominal part, right spermatic cord: abdominal part, uterus (if enlarged), urinary bladder (if very full) Left lower quadrant - sigmoid colon, descending colon: inferior part, left ovary, left uterine tube, left ureter: abdominal part, left spermatic cord: abdomianl part, uterus (if enlarged), urinary bladder (if very full)
What abdominal quadrant best describes the location of the sigmoid colon?
The sigmoid colon is located in the lower left quadrant of the abdomen.
What are the 3 divisions of the colon?
The sequence of the colon is: cecum with the attached appendix, the ascending colon, transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon (S shaped) and ends at the rectum.
Into what three regions is the colon subdivided into Describe how each of these regions is oriented in the body?
The colon is subdivided into three regions: ascending colon, transverse colon, and descending colon. The ascending colon runs vertically on the right side of the abdomen, the transverse colon crosses horizontally from right to left, and the descending colon descends vertically on the left side of the abdomen.
Does the descending colon extend along the right side of the abdomen?
No, left side.
Which organs lie in the left upper quadrent?
The left upper quadrant of the abdomen contains the pancreas, the spleen, the left kidney, the left adrenal gland, the left-most aspect of the liver, and the splenic flexure of the colon along with the left-most transverse colon and the superior aspect of the descending colon.
The third and longest section of the large intestine?
The large intestine is called the colon. It begins at the ileo-cecal valve and becomes the ascending colon. It gets to the top of the abdomen where it turns and becomes the transverse colon. When it reaches the other side of the abdomen it turns again, becoming the descending colon. At the end of the descending colon are the rectum and the anus.
Where is the colon?
The sigmoid colon is found almost at the end of the GIT in the lower abdomen. It is a continuation of the descending colon and becomes the rectum.I.e. oesophagus --> stomach --> duodenum --> jejunum --> ileum --> ascending colon --> transverse colon --> descending colon --> sigmoid colon --> rectum --> anus --> toilet.It is part of large intestine
Where does the splenic flexure lie?
The splenic flexure lies in the upper left quadrant between the transverse and descending colon.
What is 12 cm proximal to the splenic flexure?
It would be near the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
Is the cecum located at the inferior end of the descending colon?
The cecum and appendix are located at the inferior end of the ascending colon. The colon has different parts starting with the cecum-ascending colon-transverse colon- descending colon-sigmoid colon-rectum-anal canal-anus.
Location of spleen abdominopelvic region?
The left upper quadrant is the location of the left portion of the liver, the larger portion of the stomach, the pancreas, left kidney, spleen, portions of the transverse and descending colon, and parts of the small intestine.
What organs are located in the the upper quadrant?
Liver, spleen, left kidney, stomach, colon, pancreas, large intestine
