Respuesta :

(3) epigastric is the most superior and medial Of the nine regions used by anatomists to divide the abdominopelvic cavity.

The epigastrium (epigastric region), together with the right and left hypochondria, right and left lateral regions (lumbar areas or flanks), right and left inguinal regions (or fossae), and the umbilical and pubic regions, is one of the nine regions of the abdomen. It is situated halfway between the subcostal plane and the costal margins.

The diaphragm flattens and contracts while breathing, shifting the viscera and causing the upper abdominal wall to migrate outward. The diaphragm and abdominal muscles converge here, causing the epigastrium to protrude when the diaphragm and abdominal muscles contract.
