quadrants of abdominopelvic region

• Right upper (RUQ)

• Right lower (RUQ)

• Left upper (LUQ

• Left lower (LLQ)

9 abdominopelvic regions

• right hypochondriac

• epigastric

• left hypochondriac

• right lateral

• umbilical

• left lateral

• right inguinal

• pubic

• left inguinal

oblique

a section not 90 degrees

2 large cavities

dorsal and ventral body cavity

dorsal cavity

cranial cavity, vertebral cavity

ventral body cavity

thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities

organ found in right upper quadrant

liver

organ found on right lower quadrant

appendix

organ found in left upper quadrant

spleen

organ found in left lower quadrant

small intestine

cavities that make up the thoracic cavity

• pleural cavity (lungs)

• pericardial cavity (heart)

• mediastinum (thyroid)

cavities that make up the abdominopelvic cavity

• abdominal cavity

• pelvic cavity

serious membranes

• thin, double lined membranes separated by cavity filled with serous fluid

parietal serosa

lines internal body cavity walls

visceral serosa

covers internal organs

parietal peritoneum

lines abdominal wall

visceral peritoneum

lines abdominal organs

parietal pleura

lines chest cavity, diaphragm, and mediastinum

visceral pleura

lines the lungs directly

parietal pericardium

lines the cavity around the heart

visceral pericardium

below parietal pericardium, directly covers heart.

what is in between the parietal and visceral pericardium

pericardial cavity, filled with serous fluid so heart pumps without friction

peritoneum

lines the abdominopelvic cavity

pleurae

lines the lung and chest cavity

pericardium

lines the heart

other body cavities

• oral cavity

• nasal cavity

• orbital cavities

• middle ear cavities

• synovial cavities

middle ear cavity

located between eardrum and inner ear

synovial cavities

• not exposed to environment

• joint cavities
