Fascia/Ligaments Flashcards
lines the thorax between the intercostal muscles and the pleura; equivalent to the transversalis
fascia of the abdomen
Endothoracic fascia
superficial fatty layer of superficial abdominal fascia
Camper’s fascia
continuous with the superficial fascia of the scrotum
Scarpa’s fascia
superficial abdominal fascia, deep membranous layer
continuous with the pelvic fascia (epimysium of the iliacus muscle)
Transversalis fascia
-between the transversus abdominis muscle and the extraperitoneal fat
eparates the perirenal and pararenal layers of fat surrounding the kidney
renal fascia
continuous with Scarpa’s fascia of the anterior abdominal wall and the superficial perineal fascia
(Colle’s fascia)
Superficial fascia of the penis and scrotum
surrounds the corpus spongiosum and the corpora cavernosum
Deep penile fascia (Buck’s fascia)
continuous with the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle
External spermatic fascia
continuous with the internal oblique muscle
cremasteric fascia
continuous with the transversalis fascia
internal spermatic fascia
continuous with the superficial fascia of the penis and scrotum; defines the superficial boundary of the superficial perineal space (pouch)
Superficial perineal fascia (Colle’s)
defines the deep boundary of the superficial perineal space (pouch) and the inferior (superficial) boundary of the deep perineal space (pouch)
Inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm (perineal membrane)
defines the superior (deep) boundary of the deep perineal space (pouch)
Superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm
covers the pelvic surface of the obturator internus muscle
Obturator fascia
attachment for the levator ani muscle
Tendinous arch of the levator ani
