You have nine so called as quadrants to define the location on the abdomen. You have two some what triangular quadrants, that are present on either side of the epigastrium. They are formed by a horizontal line going below the ribs on one side and two mid-clavicle lines on other side.

The upper abdominopelvic regions include the what?

The upper abdominopelvic regions include the right hypochondriac, epigastric, and left hypochondriac regions. These areas are part of the nine-region division of the abdomen, which helps in identifying the locations of organs and potential sources of pain or discomfort. The right hypochondriac region contains the liver and gallbladder, the epigastric region is where the stomach and part of the pancreas are located, and the left hypochondriac region houses the spleen and part of the stomach.


Which organ fills most of the right hypochondriac and epigastric region?

Liver, right kidney, transverse colon, small intestine.


What is the major organ found in the left hypochondriac region?

Spleen and stomach


What abdominopelvic region is located lateral to the epigastric region?

The abdominopelvic regions located lateral to the epigastric region are the right and left hypochondriac regions. The epigastric region is situated in the upper central part of the abdomen, while the hypochondriac regions are found on either side, corresponding to the areas beneath the ribs.


When using the anatomical divisions the middle row contains the left and right area?

In the anatomical divisions of the abdomen, the middle row consists of the epigastric region at the center, flanked by the left and right hypochondriac regions. The left hypochondriac region is located on the left side, while the right hypochondriac region is on the right side. These areas are important for locating organs such as the stomach, liver, and spleen. Understanding these divisions aids in clinical assessments and diagnoses.
