The segment includes the abdominopelvic cavity, contents and wall including the posterior lumbar region, the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities including the bony pelvis and pelvic wall, the entire perineum and external genitalia including skin and subcutaneous tissue.\This structure surrounds the abdominopelvic cavity and has two regional parts: the wall of abdominal proper segment of trunk and the pelvic wall, but excludes the pelvic floor and the thoracic diaphragm.\This structure is comprised of the anterior and posterior abdominal wall.\The posterior abdominal wall consists of the posterior abdominal wall musculature including the quadratus lumborum, psoas major and psoas minor and crus of lumbar part of diaphragm; the lumbar vertebrae bodies and transverse processes; the posterior part of abdominal peritoneum; and the abdominal wall including the transversus abdominus, internal and external oblique muscles posterior to the mid-axillary line. This definition is sometimes referred to as the posterior wall of abdomen proper as it excludes the more superficial layers of muscle and skin of the back: the middle layer of the thoracolumbar fascia (medially attached to the transverse process of the vertebra), and the lateral raphae constitute the posterior boundary of the posterior wall of abdomen and separate it from more caudal structures which are part of the lumbar region of back.\Structure of thoracolumbar fascia

The segment includes the abdominopelvic cavity, contents and wall including the posterior lumbar region, the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities including the bony pelvis and pelvic wall, the entire perineum and external genitalia including skin and subcutaneous tissue.\This segment relates to the volume of the trunk that is bounded superiorly by and includes: the thoracic diaphragm and inferiorly by the superior pelvic aperture. It incorporates the abdominal proper cavity (including the volume of the false pelvis), contents and wall including the lumbar vertebral column and all the overlying muscles, skin and subcutaneous tissue. It consequently includes the intra-abdomen proper structure, the anterior abdominal wall and the posterior lumbar region. Note, the entire bony pelvis although forming part of the boundary is excluded from the abdomen proper segment of trunk (but is included as part of the pelvic segment of trunk).\This structure is comprised of the anterior and posterior abdominal wall.\The posterior abdominal wall consists of the posterior abdominal wall musculature including the quadratus lumborum, psoas major and psoas minor and crus of lumbar part of diaphragm; the lumbar vertebrae bodies and transverse processes; the posterior part of abdominal peritoneum; and the abdominal wall including the transversus abdominus, internal and external oblique muscles posterior to the mid-axillary line.

The segment includes the abdominopelvic cavity, contents and wall including the posterior lumbar region, the volume of the true and false pelvic cavities including the bony pelvis and pelvic wall, the entire perineum and external genitalia including skin and subcutaneous tissue.\This is considered the most commonly used clinical variant of 'abdomen' and relates to the space and content within the abdominopelvic cavity plus the anterior and lateral abdominal wall. The volume is bounded by, but excludes: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the pelvic diaphragm; and posteriorly the posterior wall of the abdomen proper: The pelvic component consists of the cavity of the true pelvis, which is bounded by, but excludes, the pelvic wall. Anteriorly this volume is bounded and includes the anterior abdominal (including the lateral abdominal wall).\Soft tissue of abdomen\Structure of soft tissue of abdominopelvic wall (body structure)\Structure of thoracolumbar fascia
