This document discusses the anatomical regions and quadrants of the abdomen and pelvis. It is divided into two main sections. The first section describes how the abdominal cavity is subdivided into 9 regions defined by horizontal and vertical planes, and lists the structures contained within each region. The second section explains that the abdomen is also clinically divided into 4 quadrants by the transumbilical and median planes for general descriptions, and lists the organs located in each quadrant. Understanding the regions and quadrants is important for correlating abdominal pains to the underlying structures.
