Describe the abdominal and lateral raphe complex
the abdominal muscles contract and pull on the lateral raphe (because they are attached here). this pulls the multifidus and the erector spinae and will compress the compartment, which will have an amplifying effect on the compression

the superficial inferior epigastric goes under the ___ from the anterior abdominal wall and is a branch of…
inguinal ligament
from the external iliac
the superior circumflex artery is off of the ___ artery. why?
this is off of the femoral artery because it arises from the artery underneath the inguinal ligament
what is caput medusae
distended and engorged superficial epigastric veins (palm tree sign)
also the thoracoepigastric vein

the inguinal canal is formed by folds of…
EO aponeurosis
what is the function of the inguinal canal
a passageway for contents from the abdominal wall to the leg
the ligament runs from the
ASIS to the pubic tubercle

spermatic cord, round ligament of the uterus inguinal nerve and blood and lymph
below the arcuate line on the posterior wall, the posterior sheath disappears and becomes the

the semilunar line is where the muscle becomes aponeurosis. its only in the posterior rectus sheath, when you dissect away the IO and EO
