Etymology: Gk, hypo + chondros, cartilage; L, regio, direction. the part of the abdomen in the upper zone on both sides of the epigastric region and beneath the cartilages of the lower ribs. Also called hypochondrium. See also abdominal regions.
The upper nine ribs start at the spine, curve around and are joined at the front of the chest. Because the ribs are firmly attached at the back (the spine) and the front (the sternum), they allow for very limited motion in the spine. The lower three ribs do not join together at the front, but do function to protect the vital organs while allowing for slightly more motion.
