in this video we're going to talk about the abdominopelvic regions we're going to discuss how they're formed we'll look at their names and then we are going to identify uh some examples of major organs that are found in each region so we've already talked about the quadrants and we know that it helps us identify potentially what organ is affected if we have patients coming in with pain and the abdominopelvic regions are a more detailed um distribution of those organs because in instead of four quadrants four squares we actually create nine regions very much like a tic-tac-toe okay so again we have umbilicus which is right here in the middle we have a diaphragm as our uh superior border because we're still talking about the abdominal pelvic cavity so how do we create this tic-tac-toe grip it is not a random uh arrangement so you notice that we have two vertical lines and we have two horizontal lines so these vertical lines are called mid clavicular and i'm going to spell it here below mid clavicular and mid clavicular basically tells us that this line is going to go through the middle of our clavicle which is also known as the collar bone right so you can find your own collarbone and find the middle and imagine both two neoclavicular lines passing through the superior horizontal line right here is going to go through the 10th cartilage so we have um 12 ribs on each side right and left and if we draw a horizontal line through the tenth cartilage on both sides we're going to get this superior line which is known as subcostal and then finally the inferior horizontal line is called the intertubercular and we get the same because it actually connects two projections on our was quarks so two vertical two horizontal lines and we get nine regions right again two factorial each of these regions has a very specific name so we are going to name them first and then we'll talk about the workings that we find in each individual region and we're going to start it right here with the medial legions we're going to start with the most superior one this one is known as echogastric the one right here in the middle is known as the umbilical and that kind of makes sense right because that's where we have umbilicus and then the legion inferior to the umbilical one is known as hypogastric or often referred to as the pubic region and then we're going to look to the lateral ones and the lateral ones are going to say have the same name on the right and on the left the only difference is that we are going to add the side of the body right so for example the most superior one of the lateral legions is called hypoquadriac right because this is the right side it will be the right hypochondriac and that one will be the left hypochondriac okay then if we go interiorly uh this region is known as the right we're staying on the right lumbar this one actually has several names right lateral abdominal were often just referred to as the right flank okay so three different names for the same region and if we go to the left we're going to have left lumbar left lateral abdominal of the left plane and then finally for most inferior of the lateral regions and this one also has several names again we are staying with the right this will be the right iliac the right inguinal or the right groin and again if we go to the left side we're going to have the same names only with the side left so lefty left left in you know left groin so we know how they are foreign we know what they're called and now let's look at some of the organs that we find in each of us i am actually going to erase some of those names so we have space to list for organs and we're going to start um again with the medial regions we're going to start at the top um so i will try to use different colors for right left and remedial regions so in the epigastric region we have the end part of the esophagus because most of it is in the thoracic cavity but then it passes through the diaphragm and connects to the stomach so stomach if we go to the umbilical region we are going to have or distinguish the duodenum uh which is actually part of a small intestine and if you remember from our discussion in the quadrants we mentioned the transverse colon so we're going to place the transverse colon here then as we're moving inferiorly to the hypogastric cubic region we are going to add the uterus and the urinary bladder so that's where usually we have pain if we have inflammation of a urinary blood flow cystitis so we looked at the medial regions now let's look on the right so on the right hand side let me get a different color so right hypochondriac we're going to have a liver and the gold leather but here is an interesting uh moment so we are just mentioning the primary working in each region in fact the liver is one of the largest glands so we are going to see some of the liver spill into vertigas equation and actually part of it even in the left hypochondriac region okay we're going to go to the right lumbar region in the right lumbar region we're going to have the right kidney and a part of the large intestine called ascending column so in addition to that we're going to see some small intestine representation in the boundaries regions but we're going to come back to that at the end okay let's look at the right inguinal region and here we're going to have appendix i remember that one is attached to the sequin but premier league appendix here and i'm gonna have right over here on the right newton tube okay so now we're going to switch um to the left and we are going to look at the left hypoquantic region we're going to have here the spleen impact part of the stomach is also going to be seen in the left hypochondriac region we're going to switch to the anterior one called the left lumbar so notice that we have a right kidney there so we're going to put the left kidney here and if we have the ascending column which means it's part of a large intestine that's moving up on this side it's actually coming down so we call it descending column and then as we go to the left electricity we're going to put sigmoid column which again is part of a large intestine and then we're going to do the left over here and left uterine too okay again really in invovodive as division is not that clear cut right so we can have organs that are found in multiple regions lastly i said that at the very end we're going to look at the small intestine so we know from the discussion of the quadrants that small intestine is an extremely long tube so the small intestine will actually be found in multiple regions and i'm just going to take a different color and we are going to make a circle right here but it will include the right and left lumbar and umbilical region so this three and then the right and left elect plus the pubic and even writing big letters s i which stands for small intestines so small intestine will be seen throughout these regions so in this video we talked about how regions are formed what they are called and what are some of the primary organs that we are going to see in each of them just like with the use of the quadrants regions will help us narrow down what organ may be affected when we have patients coming in with different pain syndromes
