Solid viscera
those that maintain a characteristic shape (liver, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands,
kidneys, ovaries, and uterus)
Hollow viscera
shape (stomach, gallbladder, small intestine, colon, and bladder) depends on the
contents. They usually are not palpable, although you may feel a colon distended with
feces or a bladder distended with urine.
Spleen
a soft mass of lymphatic tissue on the posterolateral wall of the abdominal cavity,
immediately under the diaphragm. It lies obliquely with its long axis behind and parallel
to the tenth rib, lateral to the midaxillary line. Its width extends from the ninth to the
eleventh rib, about 7 cm. It is not palpable normally. If it becomes enlarged, its lower
pole moves downward and toward the midline.
