In the nine-region scheme, which region contains the appendix?

In the nine-region scheme, the appendix is located in the lower right portion of the abdomen, near the ileocecal junction. That puts it in the right iliac (inguinal) region. The other regions shown—epigastric (upper middle), umbilical (around the navel), and left iliac (lower left)—do not correspond to where the appendix sits. So the region containing the appendix is the right iliac (inguinal) region.
