Lecture 14: Abdominal Wall Flashcards
Anterolateral abdominal wall muscles
-EO
-IO
-transversus abdominis
anterior abdonimal wall muscles
-rectus abdominis and sheath
where do the abdominal muscles converge
linea alba
EO origin
ribs 5-12
EO insertion
iliac crest and pubis
Eo action
Bilateral: flexion of trunk
Unilateral: contralateral rotation of trunk
IO origin
-inguinal ligament
-iliac crest
-lumbodorsal fascia
IO insertion
ribs 10-12
IO action
Bilateral: abdominal compression
Unilateral:ipsilateral rotation
TA Origin
-costal margin
-iliac crest
-inguinal ligament
-thoracolumbar fascia
TA insertion
-linea alba
-xiphoid process
-pubis symphysis
TA action
rotation and flexion of the trunk
RA origin
pubic bone
RA insertion
xiphoid process, ribs 5-7
RA action
trunk flexion, pelvic stability
Rectus sheath
surrounds RA anteriorly and posteriorly
what is the rectus sheath formed by
EO, IO, TA aponeurosis’
what is the arcuate line between
umbilicis and pubis
layers of rectus sheath depend on
locating according to arcuate line
Anterior Rectus Sheath above arcuate line
-EO aponeurosis
-1/2 IO aponeurosis
_surrounds RA muscle
Posterior Rectus sheath above arcuate line
-1/2 Io aponeurosis
-TA aponeurosis
transversalis fascia above arcuate line
deep to rectus sheath
anterior rectus sheath below the arcuate line
-EO aponeurosis
-IO aponeurosis
-TA aponeurosis
transversalis fascia below arcuate line
in direct contact with RA
Posterior abdominal wall muscles
psoas major, quadratus lumborum, psoas minor, illiacus
