Stomach, Small intestine, and colon
The Lower Left Quadrant holds part of the urinary bladder, and portions of the both the small and large intestine.
The lower left abdominal quadrant contains liac fossa. This is divided by the doctor.
Using the median plane (vertically) and the transumbilical plane (horizontally), the abdomen is divided into four quadrants:Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)Right Lower Quandrant (RLQ)Left Lower Quandrant (LLQ)Very briefly, some of the major structures/organs contained within each are:RUQ = most of the liver, gallbladderLUQ = spleen, most of the stomachRLQ = appendixLLQ = sigmoid colon
If we look strictly at the abdomen (and exclude pelvic anatomy) the left lower quadrant contains the inferior half of the descending colon, the superior part of the sigmoid colon and loops of ileum and jejunum. Pathologically enlarged pelvic organs or upper left quadrant organs can sometimes be found in the lower left quadrant. For example, ovarian carcinoma's or cysts, bladder, uterine pathologies. From the upper left quadrant, massive renal carcinomas, polycystic kidney's, enlarged spleens. Of course we can sometimes find a littel bit of extra human... during late term pregnancy.
