fascia lata, inguinal ligament (fluid or blood can be Fascia lata is the deep fascia of the thigh. It is especially strong, investing the thigh like an elastic stocking.trapped here when something in the peritoneal cavity ruptures)
what is fascia of scarpa:
The fascia of Scarpa is the deep membranous layer (stratum membranosum), of the superficial fascia of the abdomen. It is a layer of the anterior abdominal wall. It is found deep to the Camper Fascia and superficial to the external oblique muscle.
what is fascia of camper
The superficial layer (fascia of Camper) is a thick superficial layer of the anterior abdominal wall.[1] It is areolar in texture, and contains in its meshes a varying quantity of adipose tissue. It is found superficial to Scarpa’s fascia.
name the anterolateral abdominal muscles:
Rectus abdominis
External oblique
Internal oblique
Transverse abdominis
name the posterior abdominal muscles:
Quadratus lumborum
The quadratus lumborum is a muscle of the posterior abdominal wall. It is the deepest abdominal muscle and commonly referred to as a back muscle. It is irregular and quadrilateral in shape and broader below than above.
Psoas major
is a long fusiform muscle located on the side of the lumbar region of the vertebral column and brim of the lesser pelvis. It joins the iliacus muscle to form the iliopsoas.
Between the peritoneum and the muscular wall there is an extraperitoneal layer of fat and deep fascia called the ________
transversalis fascia.
The transverse fascia (or transversalis fascia) is a thin aponeurotic membrane which lies between the inner surface of the transverse abdominal muscle and the parietal peritoneum.
It forms part of the general layer of fascia lining the abdominal parietes, and is directly continuous with the iliac fascia, internal spermatic, and pelvic fasciae.
In the inguinal region, the transverse fascia is thick and dense in structure and is joined by fibers from the aponeurosis of the transverse abdominal. It becomes thin as it ascends to the diaphragm and blends with the fascia covering the under surface of this muscle.
The peritoneum /ˌpɛrᵻtəˈniːəm/ is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or coelom in amniotes and some invertebrates, such as annelids. It covers most of the intra-abdominal (or coelomic) organs, and is composed of a layer of mesothelium supported by a thin layer of connective tissue.

After surrounding the muscle they intersect at the ____with the ______ aponeuroses forming ______ (this would be relatively avascular in opening the abdominal cavity).
After surrounding the muscle they intersect at the midline with the contralateral aponeuroses forming linea alba (this would be relatively avascular in opening the abdominal cavity).
Above the umbilicus the anterior wall of the ____ is formed aponeuroses of the external oblique and the anterior half of internal oblique (the internal oblique aponeurosis splits into anterior and posterior leaves).
Above the umbilicus the anterior wall of the rectus sheath is formed aponeuroses of the external oblique and the anterior half of internal oblique (the internal oblique aponeurosis splits into anterior and posterior leaves).
The posterior wall is formed by the posterior half of the ______ and ________ aponeuroses.
The posterior wall is formed by the posterior half of the internal oblique and transverse abdominis aponeuroses.
Below the ______ there is a transition in the walls of the sheath.
Below the umbilicus there is a transition in the walls of the sheath.
The transition is marked on the _______ wall by an arcuate line where all layers of aponeuroses pass _______to rectus abdominis.
Below the umbilicus there is a transition in the walls of the sheath. The transition is marked on the posterior wall by an arcuate line where all layers of aponeuroses pass anterior to rectus abdominis.

Nerves and vessels are in plane between______ and ________
Nerves and vessels are in plane between internal oblique and transversus abdominis
When the ______ is closed and the diaphragm is fixed, contraction of the abdominal wall muscles increases intraabdominal pressure.
When the larynx is closed and the diaphragm is fixed, contraction of the abdominal wall muscles increases intraabdominal pressure. This is an important action in defecation, micturition, and parturition.
An ________ is formed when the intestines do not return to the abdominal cavity and remain external within the membranes of the umbilical cord
An omphalocele is formed when the intestines do not return to the abdominal cavity and remain external within the membranes of the umbilical cord
_________ is formed when there is an incomplete closure of the abdominal wall and a portion of the abdominal viscera herniate through the opening covered only by visceral peritoneum.
In both cases the viscera can be slowly returned to the body cavity over a period of days but gastroschisis is more serious in that scarring is apt to occur when visceral peritoneum is exposed externally.
