The Four Abdominopelvic Quadrants

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The abdominopelvic region is divided into four quadrants by a vertical and a horizontal line crossing at the navel.

Show

The quadrants are named right upper, left upper, right lower, and left lower.

Watch for

Right and left are the patient's, never the examiner's.
