Four Abdominal Quadrants and Nine Abdominal Regions - Anatomy and Physiology

In Anatomy and Physiology, you'll learn about the four abdominal quadrants and nine abdominal regions. This will be useful if you plan to enter a healthcare profession such as nursing, in which you'll refer to these quadrants when performing assessments or documenting.

The four abdominal quadrants are as follows:

-Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ)
-Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ)
-Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ)
-Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ)

Each of these quadrants contain portions of the large and small intestines. The upper quadrant contains organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen, and more.

Notes:

The nine abdominal regions divide the abdomen into even smaller portions. Here are the nine abdominal regions:

-Left Hypochondriac Region
-Epigastric Region
-Right Hypochondriac Region
-Left Lumbar Region
-Umbilical Region
-Right Lumbar Region
-Right Iliac Region
-Hypogastric Region
-Left Iliac Region

The quadrants and regions help medical professionals categorize the locations of the major organs, such as the large and small intestines, liver, kidneys, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, stomach, appendix, and more.
