Which term refers to the anterior trunk region inferior to the ribs?

This question tests your knowledge of regional terms for the trunk. The term for the area on the front of the body that lies below the rib cage is the abdominal region. The rib cage sits over the thoracic (chest) region, and below that is the abdomen, which extends down to the pelvis. The pelvic region is below the abdomen, and cranial refers to the head, not a trunk region. So the area described as anterior and inferior to the ribs is the abdominal region.
