Three horizontal lines and two vertical lines create nine regions of the abdomen. “Hypo” refers to “below”, “epi” refers to “above”, “chond-” refers to the cartilage of the rib and “gast-” is in reference to the stomach.
The left hypochondrium is the region that the left kidney is located in. This area is one of two regions (left or right) of the abdomen, situated on each side of the epigastrium (above the stomach) and above the lumbar regions.
Both are located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area. They sit opposite each other on both the left and right side of the body; the right kidney, however, sits a little lower than the left to accommodate the size of the liver.
Odd enough, this is where the seat of melancholy is supposed to be found.
