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, gallbladder
- LUQ = spleen, most of the stomach
- RLQ = appendix
- LLQ = sigmoid colon
