Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of abdominal quadrants: The abdomen is divided into four quadrants by two imaginary lines, one vertical and one horizontal, intersecting at the navel. These quadrants are the right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, and left lower quadrant.
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 beneath the diaphragm.
Recognize the quadrant name: Since the spleen is located in the upper part of the abdomen on the left side, it is in the left upper quadrant.
Review anatomical landmarks: The left upper quadrant contains other organs such as the stomach, pancreas, and part of the colon, which can help confirm the spleen's location in this quadrant.
