The abdomen is an important region of a human body it contains many of the vital organs of the body, so if there is discomfort in this region then the cause can be linked to many organs so first a medical/dental student has to know the regions of the abdomen to diagnose the present cause of the pain and to which organ it is related to.

- Right Hypochondrium
- Epigastrum
- Left Hypochondrium
- Right Lumbar
