Q
  1. Which of the following correctly describes the arcuate line?
    1. Where anterior abdominal muscles’ aponeuroses become anterior to rectus abdominus M 1/4ths of the way down
    2. Where anterior abdominal muscles’ aponeuroses become posterior to the rectus abdominus 1/4ths of the way down
    3. The lateral border of the rectus abdominus
    4. None of the above
A

A. Where anterior abdominal muscles’ aponeuroses become anterior to rectus abdominus M 1/4ths of the way down

NOTE: external oblique aponeurosis was always anterior to rectus abdominus M., it is at the arcuate line that the IO and TA also follow suit

Below the arcuate line the rectus abdominus is in contact with Transversalis fascia
