Describe the rectus sheath
- Connective tissue sheet
- Surrounds the rectus muscle
Describe the musculature at the preumbilical region
- Internal oblique splits into lamina interna et externa
- Relative to rectus sheath:
- Transverse abdominal and lamina interna - Dorsal
- Lamina externa and external oblique - Ventral

Describe the musculature at the postumbilical region
- Relative to the rectus sheath:
- Transverse abdominal - Dorsal
- Internal + external oblique - Ventral

Describe the musculature at the inguinal/pubic region
- Relative to rectus sheath:
- All three abdominal muscles - Ventral
