Mizo-ochi (Epigastrium)

There are many vital parts in human bodies.

Today I'd like to introduce the part called "mizo-ochi" among of them.

Mizo-ochi refers to a concave part in the center of your chest or the upper side of your stomach -- it's technically called epigastrium.

There are so many sympathetic nerves in the back of mizo-ochi (which is technically called “celiac plexus”), it is very sensitive to pain.

If an impact is sent there, your diaphragm may temporarily stop, which may cause dyspnea.

Incidentally, "mizo-ozhi" comes from "mizu ochi," which means "where water falls" (mizu means water and ochi means to fall).

みぞおち

人体には急所が幾つもあります。

その中から今日は、「みぞおち」と呼ばれる部分を紹介します。

みぞおちは、胸の中央、もしくはお腹の上部中央にある窪んだ部位のことを指します。

みぞおちの奥には多数の交感神経が走っているため、痛覚に非常に敏感になっています。

衝撃で横隔膜の動きが一時的に止まり、呼吸困難に陥ることもあります。

ちなみに、みぞおちは「飲んだ水が落ちるところ」を意味する「水落ち」が変化してできた語です。
