what are two organs found in the right lower quadrant?

I have to agree with the other posters, but it should be noted that the liver is only palpable in the right LOWER quadrant if it is much larger than normal (hepatomegaly). The normal liver can barely be palpated below the ribs.\n\nI would also have to include female genitals, ie ovaries and fallopian tubes. The large intestine is also an organ, as far as I am concerned and the ileo-cecal junction (and the appendix, as other posters have noted) is there.

In human anatomy, the vermiform appendix is a blind ended tube connected to the cecum . It develops embryologically from the cecum. Currently, the function of the appendix, if any, remains controversial in the field of human physiology.\n\nHypothesized functions for the appendix include lymphatic, exocrine, endocrine, and neuromuscular functions. However, most physicians and scientists believe the appendix lacks significant function, and that it exists primarily as a vestigial remnant of the larger cellulose-digesting cecum found in our herbivorous ancestors. Some people note, however, that the pineal gland which only recently (around 1960) has been found to produce important chemicals like melatonin was once considered a "vestigial remnant" as well.

In adults, probably the thymus.\nThe Appendix is an organ, perhaps that.

Well, hernia is a possibilty\n\nBUT......\n\nit could also be an appendicitis that needs immediate attention.  Right lower quadrant pain like from appendicitis can travel down to the testes.  So go to ER.

The small intestine is about 6 meters (20 feet) long. It is coiled in the center of the abdominal cavity (see picture). The small intestine is divided into 3 sections: upper, jejunum, and ileum. The lining of the small intestine secretes a hormone called secretin, which stimulates the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes.

generally, the right brain controls the left side of the body, and the left brain controls the right side.

I am glad you asked this question.\n\nThe number one reason a person would pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen is the gall bladder.  The number one surgery performed in the US is the removal of the gall bladder.\n\nSecond would be either cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer.  \n\nIf you still have your gall bladder I would check with your primary care provider about getting checked for this condition called cystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder caused by inadequate emptying of the gall bladder) or choleylithasis (a hard ball called a gall stone is lodged in the duct between the gall bladder and the small intestine).

First, are you certain it's your ovary?  Also in your left lower quadrant is your sigmoid colon, which may be diverticulitis.  If you're older (>50), this would be more common.  More suggestive of an ovarian source of your pain is whether it's cyclical or not.  If it's constant throughout the month, it's less likely your ovary (less likely, but still possible).  It could be an ovarian torsion, or ovarian cyst...the list of things it could be is pretty long.  It could also be endometriosis.  I recommend seeing your OBGYN, who will take a thorough history, perform an exam and probably do an ultrasound.  If the ultrasound doesn't show anything, he or she may order more extensive imaging tests, i.e. CT or MRI.  Please schedule to be seen soon.

The gall bladder is a balloon-like sac that connects to the liver and the top of the small intestines. It stores bile, a green substance produced by the liver. Bile assists in the digestion of fats.

There is only one appendix, and it is usually found slightly to the left of the center of your lower abdomen. There are exceptions, however, so if you are having problems and suspect appendicitis but because it's on the right side, you dismiss that possibility, you could be making a serious mistake. Mirror twins are mirror images of each other, with the organs reversed as well as the surface features. Problem is, there are many more mirror twins than anyone realized until quite recently. You may have been a single birth, but have been part of a mirror twin pair in utero and the other twin has been lost, shortly after conception. Some scientists have suggested that the 'mirror' aspect is what produces right or left handedness as well. \nInteresting thought, isn't it?

The appendix is the human version of the rudimentary organs used to collect rocks aniding in digestion.l the appendix has no physiologic function in the human and is expected to eventually dissappear through evolution.

Your appendix is in the right lower quadrant of your abdomen.  It is found at the point where your small intestine and large intestine join.  \n\nAppendicitis is an inflammation of the lining of the appendix spreading to its other portions. When an acute inflammation is involved, severe pain will be felt in the lower right part of the abdomen. By this time the appendix has usually become filled with pus. If not treated right away the infection can spread through the wall of the appendix and can turn into gangrene and rupture. Because of this, appendicitis is considered an emergency situation.

Actually, the appendix, like the tonsils, has been observed to have a function.\n\nThe appendix serves as a "storage area" for the endosymbiotic bacteria--it's sort of a maintenance culture area, so that when the colonic flora get wiped out by something mechanical, the colon can be rapidly recolonized from the "stored" bacteria.\n\nTonsils are mainly just highly visible, comparatively large lymph nodes.  You can get by without them, just like you can get by without your appendix, half your liver, your gall bladder, one of your kidneys, etc, but that isn't actually proof that they're vestigial.\n\nThey used to think the pineal was vestigial, too; turns out to be an important neuroendocrine modulator..\n\nThe more we learn, I guess, the more we find what we once thought to be useless was just useful in a more subtle way...

Assuming you mean the pathway for venous drainage:\n\nspleen --> splenic vein --> hepatic portal vein --> liver --> hepatic vein --> inferior vena cava --> right atrium of heart --> right ventricle --> pulmonary artery --> lungs --> pulmonary vein --> left atrium of heart --> left ventricle

Head, thorax, abdomen. If you are in med school, this might not be the best place to get the answer.
