Adipose tissue Visceral fat or abdominal fat (also known as organ fat or intra-abdominal fat) is located inside the abdominal cavity, packed between the organs (stomach, liver, intestines, kidneys, etc.). Visceral fat is different from subcutaneous fat underneath the skin, and intramuscular fat interspersed in skeletal muscles.

- Plus it can help tighten the muscles in the abdomen, the area of the body lying just south of the diaphragm, that houses the stomach and many other internal organs, says Moyad. Interestingly, the part of your belly fat that can do you the most harm may actually be the fat you don't see. It resides in the omentum, a kind of internal sheet that lies over and around your internal organs. People who are very overweight often have a lot of fat between their organs internally.

Abdomen The muscles of the abdomen protect vital organs underneath and provide structure for the spine. These muscles help the body bend at the waist. The major muscles of the abdomen include the rectus abdominis in front, the external obliques at the sides, and the latissimus dorsi muscles in the back. The major organs of the abdomen include the small intestine, large intestine, and stomach. Together, these three turn nutrients into usable energy, as well as help dispose of solid waste. Major organs that help filter contaminants out of the body are also in the abdominal region.

Epigastrium In anatomy, the epigastrium (or epigastric region) is the upper central region of the abdomen. It is located between the costal margins and the subcostal plane.The epigastrium is one of the nine regions of the abdomen, along with the right and left hypochondria, right and left lateral regions (lumbar areas or flanks), right and left inguinal regions (or fossae), and the umbilical and pubic regions.uring breathing the diaphragm contracts and flattens, displacing the viscera and producing an outward movement of the upper abdominal wall (epigastric region). It is a convergence of the diaphragm and the abdominals, so that when both sets of muscles (diaphragm and abdominals) tense, the epigastrium pushes forward.

- The diaphragm forms the upper surface of the abdomen. At the level of the pelvic bones, the abdomen ends and the pelvis begins. The abdomen contains all the digestive organs, including the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. These organs are held together loosely by connecting tissues (mesentery) that allow them to expand and to slide against each other. The abdomen also contains the kidneys and spleen.

Stomach In Depth: Stomach. The stomach is located in the upper-left area of the abdomen below the liver and next to the spleen. It’s main function is store and breakdown foods and liquids that we consume before those contents travel to other organs to be further digested. When the stomach is empty, the inside has small folds called rugae.

Visceral Fat (Active Fat) Type 2 diabetes can be caused by storing high amounts of visceral fat. Visceral fat is body fat that is stored within the abdominal cavity and is therefore stored around a number of important internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines.t is important to define the difference between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is the fat that we store just under our skin. The fat we may be able to feel on our arms and legs is subcutaneous fat. A growing belly can be the result of both types of fat.

The Purpose and Composition of Adipose Tissue Adipose is also located between muscles and around internal organs, particularly those in the abdominal cavity. The energy stored as fat in adipose tissue is used as a fuel source by the body after the available energy acquired from carbohydrates is used up.

Abdominal muscles The abdominal muscles are located between the ribs and the pelvis on the front of the body. The abdominal muscles support the trunk, allow movement and hold organs in place by regulating internal abdominal pressure. The deep abdominal muscles, together with muscles in the back, make up your 'core' muscles and help keep your body stable and balanced, and protects your spine.

Body Cavities and Membranes The stomach, liver, spleen, gallbladder, and most of the small and large intestines are in the abdominal cavity. Many of the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity are covered by the visceral peritoneum, while the wall of the abdominal cavity is lined with the parietal peritoneum. Peritoneal fluid fills the cavity between the visceral and parietal peritoneum.

Abdominal fat and what to do about it Abdominal, or visceral, fat is of particular concern because it's a key player in a variety of health problems — much more so than subcutaneous fat, the kind you can grasp with your hand. Visceral fat, on the other hand, lies out of reach, deep within the abdominal cavity, where it pads the spaces between our abdominal organs. Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

What Are the Organs in the Epigastric Region? Digestive organs make up a large part of the epigastric region. The part of the small intestine in this region is the duodenum, or the area of the small intestine closest to the stomach, according to Medic8. The pancreas excretes digestive enzymes to digest food and blood enzymes that control blood sugar levels.
