The Nine Abdominal Regions &

The Organs Found Therein

Remember me completely

Right Hypochondriac Epigastric Left Hypochondriac

Right Lumbar Umbilical Left Lumbar
Right Iliac Hypogastric Left Iliac

NOTE: Given that these are ABDOMINAL regions,

RIGHT and LEFT in the table are as they appear
in ANATOMICAL POSITION, Anterior View.

The Other Body Systems:  Go Back to the Chart

 Skeletal: not in the abdominopelvic cavity, but rather around it
 Lymphatic: everywhere, as lymphatic vessels attach to EVERY organ - See above for
LARGE organs
 Integumentary: everywhere, but not in the abdominopelvic cavity, but rather external
 Cardiovascular: everywhere, as blood vessels attach to EVERY organ
 Muscular: everywhere, but not in the abdominopelvic cavity, but rather around it
 Endocrine: - See above
 Nervous: everywhere, as nerves attach to EVERY organ
 Respiratory: not in the abdominopelvic cavity, but rather in the thoracic cavity
 Reproductive: - See above  NOTE: During Pregnancy the Uterus will expand so that
it ultimately is present in all nine abdominal regions!
 Excretory: - See above
 Digestive: - See above
