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
Yes, the abdominal quadrants include the right upper quadrant (RUQ), left upper quadrant (LUQ), right lower quadrant (RLQ), and left lower quadrant (LLQ). These regions are used to help locate and describe the location of organs in the abdomen.
The left lower quadrant of the abdomen includes organs such as the left part of the colon, the left kidney, part of the small intestine, and the lower part of the stomach. Any pain or discomfort in this region should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause.

The Right Lower Quadrant contains the organs of the large intestine and small intestine. It also has the cecum and appendix.
Lower right pain is commonly associated with appendicitis.
The abdomen is divided into four quadrants: the right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, and left lower quadrant. This division is commonly used in clinical settings to help locate and describe abdominal pain or other symptoms. Each quadrant contains specific organs and structures, aiding in diagnosis and treatment.

the lower quadrant !More specifically, the RIGHT lower quadrant. If using the "Nine Abdominal Regions" reference zones, the appendix sits in the Right Iliac or Inguinal Region.Right lower quadrant.
Lower left quadrant
Bowel sounds are typically assessed in all four quadrants of the abdomen: the right upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, left upper quadrant, and left lower quadrant. Health professionals listen to these areas using a stethoscope to evaluate intestinal activity and detect any abnormalities. Each quadrant provides insight into the functioning of different parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
