The nine abdominal regions divide the abdomen into even smaller portions. Here are the nine abdominal regions:

-Left Hypochondriac Region
-Epigastric Region
-Right Hypochondriac Region
-Left Lumbar Region
-Umbilical Region
-Right Lumbar Region
-Right Iliac Region
-Hypogastric Region

The quadrants and regions help medical professionals categorize the locations of the major organs, such as the large and small intestines, liver, kidneys, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, stomach, appendix, and more.
