The abdomen (less formally called the belly stomach or tummy) in vertebrates such as mammals constitutes the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis. The region enclosed by the abdomen is termed the abdominal cavity. In arthropods it is the posterior tagma of the body; it follows the thorax or cephalothorax. Anatomically the abdomen stretches from the thorax at the thoracic diaphragm to the pelvis at the pelvic brim.
