The 9 regions are right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac (inguinal), hypogastric, and left iliac (inguinal).
The median (vertical) plane and the transumbilical (horizontal) plane intersect at the umbilicus to form the 4 quadrants.
Two vertical planes called the midclavicular lines and two horizontal planes called the subcostal and intertubercular planes are used.
The epigastric region is located just below the sternum in the upper central area.
The umbilical region is the central region around the navel (umbilicus).
