Begin by understanding the anatomical divisions of the abdomen, which are typically divided into nine regions for descriptive purposes.
Visualize the abdomen divided into a grid with three rows and three columns. The top row consists of the right hypochondriac, epigastric, and left hypochondriac regions.
Identify the central region in the top row of this grid. This region is located above the umbilical region and below the sternum.
Recognize that the central region in the top row is known as the epigastric region. It is named for its position above the stomach (epi- meaning 'above' and gastric referring to the stomach).
Understand that the epigastric region is important for identifying the location of certain organs, such as parts of the stomach and liver, which are situated in this area.
