🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic human anatomy of the large intestine and appendix • Typical location of pain for common abdominal conditions (e.g., gallbladder vs. appendix vs. stomach) • How quadrants of the abdomen are described (upper vs. lower, left vs. right)

💭 Think About

• Think about where the appendix is attached to the large intestine in relation to the belly button (navel). Is it usually on the left or right? • Recall that abdominal pain from different organs tends to occur in specific quadrants. Where do people usually report pain when they have suspected appendicitis? • Compare the usual pain location for gallbladder issues (often related to fatty meals) versus appendicitis. Are those in the same quadrant?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear whether the appendix is on the left or right side of the body. • Decide whether it is typically in the upper or lower part of the abdomen. • Before choosing, mentally place the appendix on a simple body outline and match that spot to the correct choice.
