amm1812
The region which is directly medial to the hypochondriac regions of the body is the epigastric region. It is the upper central part of the abdomen, found in between the subcostal plane and the costal margins. This region is part of the nine regions found in the abdomen. The organs included in this region are the pancreas, liver and the stomach. Also, the adrenal gland, a part of the small intestine, the duodenum is also included. This region is not an organ or a muscle rather it is an area of activity wherein the diaphragm and the rectus abdominus would make an outward bulging of the abdominal wall especially the upper portion.
