The right lumbar region is to the right of the umbilical region near the waist.

• A. Right lumbar region
• B. Left lumbar region
• C. Right iliac region
• D. Epigastric region

Answer: (A)

Understanding the abdominal divisions helps locate regions. The abdomen is divided into nine regions: three across the top (right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac), three across the middle (right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar), and three across the bottom (right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac). The umbilical region is centered around the navel. The right lumbar region is the middle-row region to the right of that central (umbilical) zone, which places it to the right side of the umbilical area near the waist. So the statement correctly identifies the right lumbar region’s location. The left lumbar would be on the left side, the epigastric region is above the umbilical, and the right iliac region is below near the groin.
