During a clinical examination, a patient complains of pain in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. Upon palpation, the physician asks you, as a medical assistant, which organ might be of concern in this region?
Spleen
Liver
Stomach
Appendix
The correct answer is the appendix, which is located in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen. It is important to know the location of specific organs within the body cavities because pain in certain areas can indicate issues with particular organs. While the other answers may also be found in the abdominal cavity, they are not typically associated with the lower right quadrant. The stomach is primarily located in the upper left quadrant, the spleen in the upper left quadrant, and the liver is mostly in the right upper quadrant.
