Abstract
In this context, the abdomen refers to the anterior trunk from the epigastrium to the pelvic bone. The abdomen is subdivided into regions that are not precisely demarcated. The epigastrium principally relates to the stomach. The large central region principally relates to the spleen and the intestines. The middle lower abdomen principally relates to the kidney, the urinary bladder, the large intestine and the domains of the Chong and Ren Meridians. The two sides of the lower abdomen principally relates to the Liver Meridian and the large intestine.
