Chapter 23, Problem 12RQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The predominant abdominal region in which the small intestine, the liver, the stomach, the ascending colon, and the cecum are found.

Introduction:

The abdominal wall is divided into nine regions based on the two parasagittal lines that divide the body unequally as well as the two transversal lines that divide the body equally. The presence of different digestive organs in the nine different regions aids clinicians to locate the demarcations by bony markings.
