What is abdomen?

The abdomen is the part of your body that holds your stomach and other important organs inside it.

Imagine you're wearing a big, soft backpack, that’s kind of what your abdomen feels like. It's right below your chest and above your hips. When you eat food, it goes into your stomach, which is inside this big, soft backpack.

Your abdomen is like a container for your stomach, intestines, and other organs that help you digest your food. It's made of strong muscles that help you move and even help you go to the bathroom.

When you're playing or running around, these muscles work hard, just like how your backpack feels heavier when you put more books in it. That’s why your abdomen can feel full or tight after a big meal or a fun day of play!

So next time you eat a big sandwich, remember: your abdomen is the friendly container that holds everything inside!
