Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of abdominopelvic quadrants: The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into four quadrants to help locate organs. These quadrants are the Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ), Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ), Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ), and Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ).
Identify the location of the appendix: The appendix is a small, tube-like structure attached to the cecum, which is part of the large intestine.
Recall the anatomical position of the cecum: The cecum is located in the lower right portion of the abdomen.
Determine the quadrant: Since the cecum and appendix are located in the lower right portion of the abdomen, they are primarily found in the Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ).
Verify the answer: Cross-reference with anatomical diagrams or textbooks to confirm that the appendix is indeed located in the Right Lower Quadrant.
