What are the four quadrants of the body?
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
What body cavities are divided by the diaphragm?
The diaphragm divides the body into two main cavities: the thoracic cavity above the diaphragm, which contains the heart and lungs, and the abdominal cavity below the diaphragm, which houses the digestive organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines.
This nerve innervates most of the viscera in the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities?
The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) innervates most of the viscera in the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, including the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, and intestines. It plays a major role in regulating essential functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
What two organs are in the dorsal cavity?
The ventral cavity houses almost all of the major body organs. It is subdivided into 2 cavities: a) thoracic cavity - housed by the ribcage. b) abdominopelvic cavity - located on the abdomen and pelvis, as the name implies. The diaphragm is the muscle organ that separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavity. The organs on each sub-cavity are as follows: THORACIC: heart - located in the mediastinum 2 lungs ABDOMINAL liver stomach pancreas gall bladder spleen small and large intestines 2 kidneys 2 adrenal glands ureter PELVIC female - uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, urinary bladder male - urinary bladder, prostate gland, seminal vesicles
What structures within the leaf contains all the major organs?
The vascular bundle, which consists of xylem and phloem tissues, contains the major organs within a leaf, such as the veins for transport of water and nutrients, and the stomata for gas exchange. These structures are distributed throughout the leaf to support its functions in photosynthesis and transpiration.
What protects the digestive and reproductive organs?
The abdominopelvic cavity protects the major organs of digestion and reproduction.
What cavity contains the major organs of digestion?
The abdominopelvic cavity. Also, a little bit of the thoracic cavity.
What are the major organs in the ventral cavity?
The ventral cavity is subdivided into 2 other cavities, the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity which are separated by the diaphragm. Some of the organs within each are:THORACIC2 pleural cavities > lungsmediastinum > pericardial cavity, major blood and lymph vesselspericardial cavity > heartABDOMINOPELVICabdominal cavity > stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestinepelvic cavity > urinary bladder, colon, rectum, reproductive organs
What is located in the cavity?
The ventral cavity is subdivided into 2 other cavities, the thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity which are separated by the diaphragm. Some of the organs within each are:THORACIC2 pleural cavities > lungsmediastinum > pericardial cavity, major blood and lymph vesselspericardial cavity > heartABDOMINOPELVICabdominal cavity > stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestinepelvic cavity > urinary bladder, colon, rectum, reproductive organs

What is the blood vessel present within organs?
Arteries, veins and capillaries are the three major types of blood vessels. They are all found in organs.
What is the stuff that is in your body?
In your body, cells make specialized tissues; specialized tissues make specialized organs; organs control major functioning within the body.
Why do major organs need to be kept at a steady temperature?
Major organs require a steady temperature to maintain optimal function. Fluctuations in temperature can disrupt biochemical processes within the organs, leading to inefficiency or damage. Keeping organs at a constant temperature helps ensure that cells function properly and overall health is maintained.
What body cavities are divided by the diaphragm?
The diaphragm divides the body into two main cavities: the thoracic cavity above the diaphragm, which contains the heart and lungs, and the abdominal cavity below the diaphragm, which houses the digestive organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines.
