699602007: Structure of organ within abdomen proper cavity (body structure)

• SNOMED CT Concept\Body structure (body structure)\Anatomical or acquired body structure (body structure)\Anatomical structure\...
• \Anatomical structure which has as its parts a heterogeneous collection of organs, organ parts, cells, cell parts or body part subdivisions that are adjacent to, or continuous with one another; does not constitute a cell part, cell, tissue, organ, or body part subdivision.\Structure of anatomical compartment (body structure)\Structure of body cavity and/or content\This structure comprises the space and content within the boundaries of the abdominopelvic cavity but excludes the walls that define and enclose the space. Previously SNOMED CT used the word 'compartment' to describe structures comprising the cavity and content but FMA has used the same word to include cavity, content and wall. As a consequence, the preferred notation is intra-abdominopelvic structure as this more clearly excludes the 'wall' structures. The intra-abdominopelvic structure is bounded by, but excludes the following 'wall' structures: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the pelvic diaphragm; anteriorly the anterior abdominal wall (including the lateral abdominal wall); and posteriorly the wall of the abdominal proper segment of trunk. The pelvic component consists of the cavity and content of the true pelvis, which is bounded by the pelvic wall. Note, the structures that form the boundaries are excluded.\...
• \Any organ (viscera) contained within the abdominopelvic cavity. The abdominopelvic viscera includes stomach, small intestine, large intestine, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas, liver and gallbladder and the viscera within the true pelvic cavity including ovaries, uterus, prostate, urinary bladder and anal canal.\Structure of organ within abdomen proper cavity (body structure)

• \An anatomical structure that consists of the maximal set of organ parts so connected to one another that together they constitute a self-contained unit of macroscopic anatomy, distinct both morphologically and functionally from other such units. Together with other organs, an organ constitutes an organ system or a body part. An organ is divisible into organ parts but not organs (examples: femur, biceps, liver, heart, aorta, sciatic nerve, ovary).\Structure of viscus\Any organ (viscera) contained within the abdominopelvic cavity.

The segment relates to the cross-sectional or projectional volume as perceived by transmissive or emissive imaging.\This segment relates to the volume of the trunk that is bounded superiorly by and includes: the thoracic diaphragm and inferiorly by the superior pelvic aperture. It incorporates the abdominal proper cavity (including the volume of the false pelvis), contents and wall including the lumbar vertebral column and all the overlying muscles, skin and subcutaneous tissue. It consequently includes the intra-abdomen proper structure, the anterior abdominal wall and the posterior lumbar region. Note, the entire bony pelvis although forming part of the boundary is excluded from the abdomen proper segment of trunk (but is included as part of the pelvic segment of trunk).\This is a clinical variant of 'abdomen' and relates to the 'abdomen proper' cavity which is defined as the abdominopelvic cavity and content, excluding the cavity and content of the true pelvis, plus the anterior and lateral abdominal wall (but excluding the posterior wall of the abdomen proper). This space and content is bounded by, but excludes: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the superior pelvic aperture; and posteriorly the posterior wall of abdomen proper. Anteriorly this volume is bounded and includes the anterior abdominal (including the lateral abdominal wall).\This structure comprises the space and content within the boundaries of the abdominal proper cavity but excludes the walls that define and enclose the space. Previously SNOMED CT used the word 'compartment' to describe structures comprising the cavity and content but FMA has used the same word to include cavity, content and wall. As a consequence, the preferred notation is intra-abdominopelvic proper structure as this more clearly excludes the 'wall' structures. The intra-abdominopelvic proper structure is bounded by, but excludes the following 'wall' structures: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the superior pelvic aperture; anteriorly the anterior abdominal (including the lateral abdominal wall); and posteriorly the posterior wall of abdomen proper.
