What body region is located between the right and left lumbar regions?

• A. Umbilical
• B. Epigastric
• C. Hypogastric
• D. Iliac

Answer: (A)

Understanding abdominal regional anatomy helps here. The nine-region scheme places the lumbar regions on either side of the midline, with a central zone between them around the navel. That central zone is the umbilical region, which surrounds the umbilicus. So the area located between the right and left lumbar regions is the umbilical region. The epigastric region is above, the hypogastric below, and the iliac regions are lower-side areas, not between the lumbar regions.
