Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of the abdominopelvic cavity, which is divided into four quadrants: Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ), Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ), Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ), and Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ).
Identify the organs typically found in each quadrant. The RUQ contains organs such as the liver, gallbladder, part of the pancreas, and portions of the small and large intestines.
Recognize that the liver is a large organ primarily located in the RUQ, extending slightly into the LUQ.
Compare the location of the other organs listed: the spleen is in the LUQ, the urinary bladder is in the lower quadrants, and the appendix is in the RLQ.
Conclude that the liver is the organ primarily located in the Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ) of the abdominopelvic cavity.
