    Abdominal Regions AND Quadrants

    Uploaded by

    Marjorie Balangue Macadaeg
    The document discusses the division of the abdomen into regions and quadrants for medical study and treatment. It describes the four abdominal quadrants divided by two imaginary lines intersecting at the navel: upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. Each quadrant contains specific organs. The document further divides the abdomen into nine smaller regions by adding two additional intersecting lines for more detailed analysis. It also provides overviews of the major body cavities, including the dorsal cavity containing the cranial and spinal cavities, and the ventral cavity divided into superior and inferior portions by the diaphragm. Key internal organs and structures are noted for each region.

    9 ABDOMINOPELVIC
    REGIONS
    The nine regions of the
    abdominopelvic
    region are smaller than
    the four quadrants,
    allowing for more
    detailed discussion.
    Theses are marked by
    two parasagittal and
    two transverse planes
    centered around the
    navel.

    BODY CAVITY
    Any fluid-filled space in a
    multicellular organism
    Helps protect, separate, and
    support internal organs
    Provide room for the organs to
    adjust to changes in the
    organism’s position
    Bones, muscles, ligaments, and
    various body cavities from one
    another
    2 MAJOR CAVITIES

    DORSAL CAVITY
    VENTRAL CAVITY
    DORSAL CAVITY
    The space around the brain and spinal.

    2 Parts of Dorsal Cavity


     Cranial Cavity
     Spinal Cavity
    CRANIAL CAVITY
     It is the space formed inside the skull and it
    contains the brain and it’s surrounding the
    meninges, portions of the cranial nerves,
    arteries, veins, and nervous sinuses.
     It’s function is sensory information for
    things such as taste, smell, hearing, and
    sight.

    8 CRANIAL BONES
     Frontal bone
     Occipital bone
     Sphenoid bone
     Ethmoid bone
     Two parietal bones
    * The capacity of an adult human cranial cavity is 1,200-
     Two temporal bones 1,700 cm^3
    SPINAL CAVITY
    The space occupied by the
    spinal cord enclosed by the
    vertebrae column making
    up the backbone.
    Ventral cavity
    Interior space in
    the front of the
    body.
    Has inferior and
    superior portions
    divided by the
    diaphragm.
    VISCERA
    Organs found inside the ventral cavity

    Mesothelium
    Consists of the pleura of the lungs, the
    pericardium of the heart, and the
    peritoneum of the abdominopelvic cavity.
    Thoracic cavity
     Also called chest cavity is found by the ribs, the muscle of the chest, the sternum
    (breast bone), and the thoracic portion of the vertebral column.

    Pleural cavity
     A potential space between the layers of the pleura that surrounds a lung.

    Mediastinum
     Central portion of the thoracic cavity between the lungs; sxtends from sternum
    to vertebral column and from first rib to diaphragm; contains heart, thymus,
    esophagus, trachea, and several large blood vessels.
    Abdominopelvic cavity
     Subdivided into abdominal and pelvic cavities.

    Abdominal cavity
     Contains stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestine; the serous membrane of the
    abdominal cavity is the peritoneum.

    Pelvic cavity
     Contains urinary bladder, portions of the large intestine, and internal organs of
    reproduction.
