Quadrants are usually the four parts of a circle that are created by the two coordinate axes - in 2-dimensional space. Octants are their 3-dimensional counterparts: they are the eight shapes created by the three [orthogonal] coordinate planes.
Eight. That may be a big part of the reason why they're called "OCTants".Or maybe it's just a coincidence.
They are called "quadrants".

There are infinitely many. Amongst them are: Circle, ellipse, annulus (disk), Triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, and polygons with more sides, Semicircles, quadrants, octants, and other combinations of the above, Irregular 2d shapes - like a blob.

The axes create the quadrants.
The plane that divides the upper abdominopelvic quadrants from the lower abdominopelvic quadrants is the transumbilical plane. This horizontal plane runs through the umbilicus (navel) and is situated at the level of the L3-L4 vertebrae. It separates the quadrants into the right and left upper quadrants above and the right and left lower quadrants below.

Miami's streets are divided into four quadrants: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest. Flagler Street divides the north and south quadrants. Miami Avenue divides the east and west quadrants.
Quadrants refers to the torso only.
There are only four, the word quadrants hints to that quad meaning four.
