What is the area in the abdomen located between all quadrants called?

The area in the abdomen located between all quadrants is referred to as the periumbilical region. This region is centered around the umbilicus (navel) and serves as a key landmark in the assessment of abdominal pain or other symptoms. Because the umbilicus is approximately at the midpoint of the abdomen, the periumbilical area connects to all four quadrants—right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, and left lower quadrant—making it integral to understanding abdominal anatomy and potential underlying issues.

By focusing on the periumbilical region, healthcare providers can better localize pain or other symptoms and determine if they may originate from structures that are related to multiple quadrants or centrally located ones, rather than being confined to one quadrant alone. The other regions mentioned in the options, such as suprapubic (located below the pubic bone), right upper quadrant, and left upper quadrant, refer to more specific areas of the abdomen that do not encompass all four quadrants collectively.
