The abdominal cavity contains organs involved in digestion and excretion. The stomach is situated in the upper left quadrant, while the liver occupies the upper right quadrant. The intestines are centrally located, with the small intestine occupying the majority of the space and the large intestine framing it. The gallbladder is tucked under the liver, and the pancreas lies behind the stomach. This detailed knowledge facilitates accurate palpation and the identification of abnormalities.
