In addition, the portion of the abdominal wall above the body of the pubis is known as the suprapubic region, and that immediately above the inguinal liga- ments as the inguinal region.

The superior horizontal, or subcostal, plane passes posteriorly, through the superior part of the third lumbar vertebra, or the fibro-cartilage between the second and third lumbar vertebrae. The intertubercular plane cuts through the middle or superior part of the fifth lumbar vertebra. The inferior margin of the tenth costal cartilage frequently corresponds to the most dependent part of the thoracic framework. Often, however, the eleventh costal c
