| lamina anterior vaginae musculi recti abdominis | The portion of the rectus sheath that lies anterior to the muscle, consisting in its upper two-thirds of contributions from the aponeuroses of the external and internal oblique muscles, and in its lower third (below the arcuralt line) of contributions from the aponeuroses of all three muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall. Synonym: lamina anterior vaginae musculi recti abdominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamina posterior vaginae musculi recti abdominis | The portion of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle that lies posterior to the muscle covering only its upper two-thirds; it is formed by contributions from the aponeuroses of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles; its free inferior margin forms the arcuate line; it is deficient below this, the posterior aspect of the muscle being covered only by transversalis fascia and peritoneum. Synonym: lamina posterior vaginae musculi recti abdominis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lamina superficialis musculi levatoris palpebrae superioris | <anatomy> The superficial fibres of the levator muscle of the superior eyelid which are inserted into the skin of the superior eyelid. Synonym: lamina superficialis musculi levatoris palpebrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea arcuata vaginae musculi recti abdominis | A crescentic line, not always clearly defined, which marks the lower limit of the posterior layer of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. Synonym: linea arcuata vaginae musculi recti abdominis, Douglas' line, linea saemicircularis, saemicircular line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| linea musculi solei | A ridge which extends obliquely downward and medially across the back of the tibia from the fibular articular facet; it gives origin to the soleus muscle. Synonym: linea musculi solei, line for soleus muscle, linea poplitea, popliteal line. (05 Mar 2000) |
