Bowel sounds can be heard in the abdomen during physical examinations, typically using a stethoscope. These sounds result from the movement of gas and fluids through the intestines. They are most commonly assessed in the quadrants of the abdomen to evaluate gastrointestinal activity and function. Normal bowel sounds can indicate healthy digestion, while abnormal sounds may suggest various medical conditions.
