Which region is the lower middle portion?

• A. Umbilical region
• B. Epigastric region
• C. Right iliac
• D. Hypogastric/pubic region

Answer: (D)

The region in the lower middle of the abdomen is the hypogastric region, also called the pubic region. This central lower zone sits below the umbilical area and between the left and right iliac (inguinal) regions. The term hypogastric means “below the stomach,” which helps remember its position. The epigastric region is the upper middle area, the umbilical region is the central area around the navel, and the right iliac region is the lower right side. So the lower middle portion is the hypogastric/pubic region.
