  1. Ch. 22 Chest and Abdomen

  2. Abdominopelvic Cavity • One large continuous cavity • Usually referred to separately as the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity

  3. Abdominal Regions and Quadrants • Regions • Umbilical • Epigastric • Hypogastric • R/L Hypochondriac • R/L Lumbar • R/L Iliac • Quadrants • Vertical line is the midline • Horizontal line runs through the belly button

  4. Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

  5. Stomach • Located in the upper part of the abdominal cavity (LUQ) • 3 portions • Fundus • Body • Pylorus • Cardiac Sphincter • Pyloric Sphincter

  6. Pancreas and Gallbladder • Pancreas is located behind the stomach • Produces insulin • Gallbladder is located on the liver • Stores bile • Gallstones

  7. Liver • Largest organ in the body • Located below diaphragm in URQ • Manufactures bile • Produces glycogen • Detox alcohol and drugs • Regeneration

  8. Spleen • Located behind the diaphragm in ULQ • Responsible for storing blood and recycling old RBC • May become enlarged due to malaria or mono • Medical emergency if ruptured

  9. Small Intestine • 20 feet long • 3 sections • Duodenum (1’) • Jejunum (8’) • Ileum (10’-12’) • Nutrients are absorbed • Villi assist in absorption

  10. Large Intestine (colon) • 5 feet long, 2 inches in diameter • Food enters from small intestine through ileocecal valve • Cecum • Appendix • Ascending, transverse, descending colon • Sigmoid colon • Rectum

  11. Kidneys • Bean shaped organs resting on the dorsal side of the abdominal cavity • Maintains homeostatis • Nephron-functional unit • Ureters-carries urine from kidneys to bladder

  12. Bladder • Hollow, muscular organ • Acts like a reservoir and stores urine • 1 pint

  13. Kidney Contusion • Blow to the flank area in the back • S/S: shock, nausea, vomiting, hematuria • Refer to hospital immediately

  14. Liver Contusion • Caused by blow to right side • Pain can be referred to below right scapula and left side of chest • Medical emergency because of blood flow through liver

  15. Injury to Spleen • Can rupture with no apparent cause • Pain may radiate to left shoulder and arm • Person can live without a spleen but a medical emergency when ruptured

  16. Hernias • Protrusion of abdominal tissue through a portion of the abdominal wall • Inguinal or femoral • Congenital or result of activity • S/S: bulge, sharp or dull pain, worse thru day • Usually surgical
