Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.
Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place. A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.

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.
