    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrants_and_regions_of...

    The human abdomen is divided into quadrants and regions by anatomists and physicians for the purposes of study, diagnosis, and treatment. [1] [2] The division into four quadrants allows the localisation of pain and tenderness, scars, lumps, and other items of interest, narrowing in on which organs and tissues may be involved.

  3. Transpyloric plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpyloric_plane

    The transpyloric plane, also known as Addison's plane, is an imaginary horizontal plane, located halfway between the suprasternal notch of the manubrium and the upper border of the symphysis pubis at the level of the first lumbar vertebrae, L1.

  4. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

    A sagittal plane (also known as anteroposterior plane) is perpendicular to the ground, separating left from right. The median (or midsagittal) plane is the sagittal plane in the middle of the body; it passes through midline structures such as the navel and the spine. All other sagittal planes (also known as parasagittal planes) are parallel to it.

  5. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    Anatomical planes in a human. Anatomical terms describe structures with relation to four main anatomical planes: [2] The median plane, which divides the body into left and right. [2] [6] This passes through the head, spinal cord, navel, and, in many animals, the tail. [6] The sagittal planes, which are parallel to the median plane. [1]

  6. Abdomen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdomen

    It is the combination of the linea alba and the tendinous intersections which form the abdominal "six-pack" sought after by many people. The upper lateral limit of the abdomen is the subcostal margin (at or near the subcostal plane) formed by the cartilages of the false ribs (8, 9, 10) joining one another.

  7. Intertubercular plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertubercular_plane

    A lower transverse plane midway between the upper transverse and the upper border of the pubic symphysis; this is termed the intertubercular plane (or transtubercular), since it practically corresponds to that passing through the iliac tubercles; behind, its plane cuts the body of the fifth lumbar vertebra.

  8. Extraperitoneal fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraperitoneal_fascia

    Extraperitoneal fascia (also: endoabdominal fascia or subperitoneal fascia) is a fascial plane – consisting mostly of loose areolar connective tissue – situated between the fascial linings of the walls of the abdominal and pelvic cavities (transversalis fascia, anterior layer of thoracolumbar fascia, iliac fascia, and psoas fascia) externally, and the parietal peritoneum internally.

  9. Epigastrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigastrium

    The epigastrium is the part of the abdomen where abdominal thrusts (the Heimlich manoeuvre) are able to produce a rapid and forceful exhalation of breath. [citation needed] Palpation of the epigastrium can be used to feel the structures below it. [2] This includes the liver, and the stomach. [2] An aortic aneurysm may be felt as a mass in the ...
