Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of abdominal quadrants: The abdomen is divided into four quadrants by a vertical and a horizontal line intersecting at the navel. These quadrants are the Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ), Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ), Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ), and Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ).
Identify the location of the spleen: The spleen is an organ involved in filtering blood and is part of the lymphatic system. It is located in the upper part of the abdomen.
Determine the specific quadrant: The spleen is situated on the left side of the body, above the stomach and under the rib cage.
Relate the spleen's position to the quadrants: Since the spleen is on the left side and in the upper part of the abdomen, it is primarily located in the Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ).
Conclude with the correct quadrant: Based on the anatomical position of the spleen, it is primarily located in the Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ).
