The human abdomen (also called the belly or midriff) is the part of the body between the pelvis and the thorax. Anatomically, the abdomen stretches from the thorax at the thoracic diaphragm to the pelvis at the pelvic brim. The pelvic brim stretches from the lumbosacral angle (the intervertebral disk between L5 and S1) to the pubic symphysis and is the edge of the pelvic inlet. The space above this inlet and under the thoracic diaphragm is termed the abdominal cavity. The boundary of the abdominal cavity is the abdominal wall in the front and the peritoneal surface at the rear. Functionally, the human abdomen is where most of the alimentary tract is placed and so most of the absorption and digestion of food occurs here. The alimentary tract in the abdomen consists of the lower esophagus, the stomach, the duodenum, the jejunum, ileum, the cecum and the appendix, the ascending, transverse and descending colons, the sigmoid colon and the rectum. Other vital organs inside the abdomen include the liver, the kidneys, the pancreas and the spleen. The abdominal wall is split into the posterior (back), lateral (sides) and anterior (front) walls.

Eat high protein, low-carb foods, such as lean meats, eggs, nuts, broccoli, whole wheat breads and pastas. This will help burn the layer of fat from the area. Secondly, the best exercise to target that area is not sit-ups or crunches - these exercises will do more harm on your back than they'll do good for your abs - instead do leg lifts to target the lower abs. Lay on your back with your hands under your bottom. Then lift your legs almost to 90-degrees and then bring them back down to about 5-6 inches off the floor - that's one rep. Do about 3-4 sets of 15 reps a couple of times per week. It shouldn't take more than a couple of… [cont.] Answered by EZ Writer - Mon Sep 14 15:08:55 2009 The quickest way to get abdominal muscles?
