Know the nine 9 abdominopelvic regions left and right hypoch

Know the nine (9) abdominopelvic regions: left and right hypochondriac, umbilical, epigastric, left and right lumbar, and left and right iliac. Know the 4 abdominopelvic quadrants: right upper and lower quadrants and left upper and lower quadrants. Know the steps of the scientific method. Be able to apply the scientific method to a problem.

Solution

5.The nine divisions of the abdominopelvic region are marked by two parasagittal and two transverse planes centered around the navel.

Right hypochondriac region-gallbladder,liver,right kidney,parts of small intestine

Epigastric region-part of liver,stomach,pancreas,part of duodenum and the adrenal glands.

Left hypochondriac region-spleen,parts ofcolon,liver,Left kidney,small intestine

Right lumbar region-ascending colon,liver,right kidney,small intestine

Umbilical region-umbilicus (navel),jejunum,ileum,duodenum,colon,kidneys,major abdominal vessels

Left lumbar region-descending colon,Left kidney,small intestine

Right (iliac) inguinal region-appendix,cecum,small intestine

Hypogastric region-urinary bladder,small intestine,sigmoid colon,female reproductive organs

Left (iliac) inguinal region-small intestine,decsending colon,sigmiod colon

6.The abdominopelvic region can be divided into four quadrants.These quadrants are defined by the intersection of the saggital plane with the umbilical plane.
The right upper quadrant contains the right portion of the liver,the gallbladder,right kidney,a small portion of the stomach,the duodenum,the head of the pancreas,portions of the ascending and transverse colon,and parts of small intestine.
The left upper quadrant is the location of the left portion of the liver,part of the stomach,the pancreas,left kidney,spleen,portions of the transverse and descending colon,and parts of the small intestine.
In the right lower quadrant contains the cecum,appendix,part of the small intestines,the right half of the female reproductive system,and the right ureter.
The left lower quadrant houses the majority of the small intestine,some of the large intestine,the left half of the female reproductive system,and the left ureter.
