D
Liver
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of abdominal quadrants. The abdomen is divided into four quadrants: right upper quadrant (RUQ), left upper quadrant (LUQ), right lower quadrant (RLQ), and left lower quadrant (LLQ). These quadrants help in identifying the location of organs.
Step 2: Recall the anatomical location of the liver. The liver is a large organ located primarily in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdomen, although a small portion extends into the left upper quadrant.
Step 3: Review the locations of the other organs listed in the question. The urinary bladder is located in the pelvic region, the spleen is in the left upper quadrant (LUQ), and the sigmoid colon is in the lower quadrants, typically the left lower quadrant (LLQ).
Step 4: Compare the anatomical locations of the listed organs with the right upper quadrant (RUQ). The liver is the only organ among the options that is located in the RUQ.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is the liver based on its anatomical position in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen.
