Camperโs fascia
external, fatty
males fat fuses with the scarpas layer to form dartos fascia
females retain and form labia majora
Scarpaโs fascia
โข Deeper located and membranous
-continues into the superficial perineal fascia (Colles )
external oblique function and innervation
-Bilateral - anterior flexion of trunk
-Unilateral - lateral flexion, rotation
-Segmental nerves
-aponeurosis forms part of the
anterior layer of the rectus sheath
internal oblique
-Bilateral - anterior flexion of trunk
Unilateral - lateral flexion, rotation
-segmental nerve
transversus abdominus
- Compress and support abdominal viscera
- innervated by segmental nerves
what forms the conjoint tendon
-The inferior portion of the IO joins with the
aponeurosis of transversus abdominis
-The inferior portion of TA joins with the internal
oblique
Rectus abdominis
Action: flexion, tenses wall
Innervation: segmental nerves
Pyramidalis
Action: tenses the linea alba
Innervation: T12
Rectus Sheath
The aponeuroses of the lateral abdominal muscles forms a thick sheath that encloses the rectus
abdominis
Describe the midline of the rectus sheath :
-All aponeuroses fuse in the midline (linea alba) to separate the left and right rectus muscles
Describe the lateral border of the rectus sheath
This is another region of fusion demarcating the linea semiluaris
