2. INTRODUCTION The abdomen (commonly called the belly) is the body space between the thorax (chest) and pelvis. The diaphragm forms the upper surface of the abdomen. At the level of the pelvic bones, the abdomen ends and the pelvis begins. The abdomen contains all the digestive organs, including the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. These organs are held together loosely by connecting tissues (mesentery) that allow them to expand and to slide against each other. The abdomen also contains the kidneys and spleen.

3. CONTINUE Many important blood vessels travel through the abdomen, including the aorta, inferior vena cava, and dozens of their smaller branches. In the front, the abdomen is protected by a thin, tough layer of tissue called fascia. In front of the fascia are the abdominal muscles and skin. In the rear of the abdomen are the back muscles and spine. [email protected]

5. ABDOMEN Boundaries: anterolateral and posterior abdominal walls, diaphragm, pelvic inlet. Contents: stomach, small intestine, large intestine, vermiform appendix, pancreas, spleen, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands [email protected]

6. BLOOD SUPPLY Abdomen: celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, middle suprarenal arteries, renal arteries, inferior mesenteric artery, inferior phrenic artery and lumbar arteries; inferior vena cava, hepatic portal vein [email protected]

7. INNERVATION Abdomen: vagus nerve (CN X), prevertebral ganglia, lower thoracic, pelvic and lumbar splanchnic nerves; they form plexuses: myenteric, celiac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, superior hypogastric and inferior hypogastric plexuses. [email protected]

8. REGIONS OF THE ABDOMEN The regions of the abdomen are theoretical divisions used by clinicians to help localize, identify and diagnose a patients symptoms. There are two main forms of categorization, the first which is simpler and is mapped out by dividing the  abdomen into  four quadrants, while the second method divides it into nine segments.

9. NINE REGION SCHEME Principle:  two vertical midclavicular lines (left and right) cross two horizontal: subcostal (through lower edge of 10th costal cartilage) and transtubercular (through tubercles of iliac crests) -> nine segments: right and left hypochondrium, epigastrium, right and left lumbar regions, umbilical region, right and left inguinal regions, hypogastrium [email protected]

10. SEGMENTS Right hipochondrium Epigastrium Left hipochondrium Right lumbar Umbilical Left lumbar Right inguinal Hypogastrium Left inguinal [email protected]
