67
Q

Epigastric Region

A

region is

located superior to the umbilical region (epi =upon, above; gastric =stomach).

68
Q

Hypogastric (pubic) Region

A

is inferior to

the umbilical region (hypo =below).

69
Q

Right iliac (inguinal) Region and Left iliac (inguinal) Region

A 
are lateral to the
hypogastric region (iliac = superior part of the hip bone).
70
Q

Right and left lumbar region

A

71
Q

Right and left hypochondriac region

A

flank
the epigastric region and contain the lower
ribs (chondro = cartilage).

72
