Meninges
This specific body position—arms at the sides and muscles relaxed—is ideal for palpating abdominal structures.
Supine
This injury occurs when the rib cage is compressed by a direct blow or a sudden twist, involving this cartilage.
costal
This infectious disease is the most likely cause of an enlarged spleen, making it more susceptible to injury.
mononucleosis

kidneys
Inflammation of this pouchlike organ in the lower right quadrant could be a sign of a life-threatening bacterial infection.
Appendix

Cervical spine injury
Male athletes are more likely to get hernias in this groin region
inguinal
Unlike a pneumothorax, this condition involves the presence of blood within the pleural cavity.
hemothorax
Injuries to this solid organ most often occur due to a direct blow to the left upper quadrant of the abdomen.
spleen

Traumatic Asphyxia
This is the immediate first aid position for an athlete who has suffered a testicular contusion.
Side lying/thighs to chest
Costal cartilage injuries are distinguished by sharp pain during trunk movement and difficulty performing this basic function.
