Quadrants of Abdomen

The abdomen is divided into four Quadrants by drawing two lines- a horizontal line and a vertical line are passed through the Umbilicus (navel).

Four Quadrants of Abdomen are-

1. Right Upper and Left Upper Quadrants

2. Right Lower and Left Lower Quadrants



Abdominopelvic regions and quadrants help clinicians determine, which organs and tissues, and sites are involved in a disease based on which regions experience pain.
