What is the central part of your body?

I am answering with the assumption you are referring to the trunk/core of the body. The trunk contains the Thoracic cavity {containing the Pleural & Pericardial cavities} at the upper 1/3 of the trunk. The trunk contains the Abdominopelvic cavity {containing the Abdominal & Pelvic cavities} at the lower 2/3 of the trunk. {Based on the above mentioned thirds} I would say the "Center part of the body" would be the Abdominal cavity. Further, I would specify the Epigastric {and possibly Umbilical} region{s}.
