Which term pertains to the abdomen and pelvis?

• A. Abdominal
• B. Abdominopelvic
• C. Adduction
• D. Adipose

Answer: (B)

Think about how anatomy uses combined terms to cover related regions. Abdominopelvic describes both the abdomen and the pelvis, forming the abdominopelvic cavity that includes organs from both areas. This makes it the term that pertains to the entire region requested. The word abdominal would refer only to the abdomen, adduction is a movement toward the midline, and adipose means fat tissue. So the term that encompasses both the abdomen and pelvis is abdominopelvic.
