Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pain is described as being in both the stomach (which is in the abdominal region) and midback (which is in the thoracic region), making the term "abdominothoracic" the most accurate choice. Cephalopelvic refers to the head and pelvis, cerebrospinal refers to the brain and spinal cord, and spinocerebellar refers to the spinal cord and cerebellum, none of which accurately describe the location of the pain.
