start a line at a point about an inch (25mm) in from the nipple towards the centre of the body, then draw directly down until you are level with the widest part of the hip. every thing to the left of that line is in the left iliac. this includes most of the stomach, portions of small intestine, the distal portion of the descending colon, and usually the sigmoid colon.
