Abdomen: The belly , that part of the body that contains all of the structures between the chest and the pelvis . The abdomen is separated anatomically from the chest by the diaphragm , the powerful muscle spanning the body cavity below the lungs .
The abdomen includes a host of organs including the stomach , small intestine , colon , rectum , liver , spleen , pancreas , kidneys , appendix , gallbladder , and bladder .
The word "abdomen" has a curious story behind it. It comes from the Latin "abdodere", to hide. The idea was that whatever was eaten was hidden in the abdomen.
