Is a 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). true Inferred relationship Some

This structure comprises the space and content within the boundaries of the abdominal proper cavity but excludes the walls that define and enclose the space. Previously SNOMED CT used the word 'compartment' to describe structures comprising the cavity and content but FMA has used the same word to include cavity, content and wall. As a consequence, the preferred notation is intra-abdominopelvic proper structure as this more clearly excludes the 'wall' structures. The intra-abdominopelvic proper structure is bounded by, but excludes the following 'wall' structures: superiorly the thoracic diaphragm; inferiorly the superior pelvic aperture; anteriorly the anterior abdominal (including the lateral abdominal wall); and posteriorly the posterior wall of abdomen proper.
