| 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) |
