midclavicular line
line in the middle near the clavical
arcuate line
area that defines the change in the rectus sheath composition
striae
seen when a person grows or gains weight rapidly
linea nigra
forms during third trimester due to increased melanocyte-stimulating hormones from the placenta
umbilical hernia
occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through an opening in the abdominal muscles.
canal and rings
developed by the passage of the testicle through the anterior abdominal wall during development
disastasis recti
injury to rectus abdominis and linea alba. Common after pregnancy and large weight gain.
direct inguinal hernia
transverse the anterior abdominal wall and medial to the inferior epigastric artery. usually considered a acquired defect
indirect inguinal hernia
Traverses through the anterior abdominal wall lateral to the inferior epigastric artery
Considered a congenital defect as it follows the course of the process vaginalis

abdominal pelvic cavity
composed of the abdominal and pelvic cavity
abdominal cavity
The abdominal cavity is a large body space that holds the major organs of digestion. It is a part of the trunk located below the thoracic cavity (chest).
pelvic cavity
a bowl-shaped space within the bones of the pelvis that’s located below the abdominal cavity. It’s enclosed between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic outlet, and contains many internal organs and tissues
transversalis fascia
The portion lining the deep surface of the transversus abdominis muscle and its aponeurosis
iliopubic tract
It is the thickened lower edge of the transversalis fascia, appearing as a fibrous band that runs parallel and behind the inguinal ligament.
parietal peritoneum
outer layer of a thin, smooth tissue membrane called the peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall and pelvic cavity
iliopectineal arch
-from the anterior superior iliac spine to the iliopectineal eminence of the hip bone
-to create this septum, which allows the following structures to pass through
rectus sheath postierior
-below costal cartilages
-forms a tough membrane that contains the superior and inferior epigastric arteries and veins. These arteries and veins allow for collateral flow along the midline abdominal wall
