The idea
The abdominopelvic region is alternatively divided into nine regions by two vertical and two horizontal lines.
In practice
The central three, from top to bottom, are the epigastric, umbilical, and hypogastric regions.
Where people slip
Four quadrants and nine regions are two systems for one area. A record uses one or the other.
