The Umbilical Region, in the anatomists' abdominal pelvic 9 region scheme, is the area surrounding the umbilicus (belly button). The upper 3 regions from left to right are the left hypochondriac, epigastric, and right hypochondriac regions. The middle 3 regions from left to right are the left lumbar, umbilical, and right lumbar regions. The bottom 3 regions from left to right are the left inguinal, hypogastric, and right inguinal regions.
