The
umbilical region, in the anatomists' abdominal pelvic nine-region scheme, is the area surrounding the umbilicus (
navel). This region of the abdomen contains part of the
stomach, the head of the
pancreas, the
duodenum, a section of the
transverse colon and the lower aspects of the left and right
kidney. The upper three regions, from left to right, are the left
hypochondriac,
epigastric, and right hypochondriac regions. The middle three regions, from left to right, are the left
lumbar, umbilical, and right lumbar regions. The bottom three regions, from left to right, are the left inguinal,
hypogastric, and right inguinal regions.
