Descriptions

The abdomen is a part of the body. In humans, and in many other vertebrates, it is the region between the thorax and the pelvis (Separating the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity is the diaphragm). In fully developed insects, the abdomen is the third (or posterior) segment, after the head and thorax. Vertebrates:In vertebrates, the abdomen contains several organs:Part of the digestive system (stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines),The entire urinary system (kidneys, bladder).The internal reproductive organs (ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus in women, testis, Vas deferens and prostate in men)The abdomen also contains some of the largest and most easily accessible blood vessels in many animals, and is often used in medicine and experimentation for catheterization. For various reasons, the abdomen is often colored differently from the rest of the body. In animals with furry or hairy bodies, the abdomen is frequently hairless, or nearly so.
