In which area hypogastric region of the abdomen is situated?
Correct Answer: The area immediately above the pubic tubercle
Description: The hypogastric region of the abdomen, also known as the suprapubic region, is that area which is immediately above the pubic tubercle. The area surrounding the umbilicus is known as the umbilical region of the abdomen. The upper central abdomen directly below the xiphoid is the epigastric region. Even though these three regions are pa of a nine-region abdominal designation, they are most often used in conjunction with the standard four quadrant system of identifying regions of the abdomen - right upper (RUQ), right lower (RLQ), left upper (LUQ), and left lower quadrants (LLQ).
