| anterior layer of rectus abdominis sheath | 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) |
| vagina musculi recti abdominis | Sheath of the rectus abdominis, formed by the aponeuroses of the three anterolateral muscles of the abdominal wall that split to enclose the rectus and fuse medially to form the linea alba; it consists of an anterior lamina and a posterior lamina, the latter being absent below the arcuate line. See: aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique muscle, aponeurosis of internal abdominal oblique muscle. Synonym: vagina musculi recti abdominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venae subcutaneae abdominis | The network of superficial veins of the abdominal wall that empty into the thoracoepigastric, superficial epigastric, or superior epigastric veins and form portocaval anastomoses through their communications with the paraumbilical veins. Synonym: venae subcutaneae abdominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectus abdominis | A long flat muscle that extends along the whole length of both sides of the abdomen. It flexes the vertebral column, particularly the lumbar portion; it also tenses the anterior abdominal wall and assists in compressing the abdominal contents. It is frequently the site of haematomas. In reconstructive surgery it is often used for the creation of myocutaneous flaps. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rectus abdominis muscle | <anatomy> Muscle of ventral abdominal wall, flanking the linea alba, and characterised by tendinous intersections separating its length into multiple bellies; origin, crest and symphysis of the pubis; insertion, xiphoid process and fifth to seventh costal cartilages; action, flexes lumbar vertebral column, draws thorax downward toward pubis; nerve supply, thoracoabdominal nerves. Synonym: musculus rectus abdominis, rectus muscle of abdomen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regiones abdominis | The topographical subdivisions of the abdomen; based on subdividing the abdomen by the transpyloric, interspinous and midclavicular planes; including the right and left hypochondriac, right and left lateral, right and left inguinal, and the unpaired epigastric, umbilical and pubic regions. Synonym: regiones abdominis, abdominal zones. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cavum abdominis | <anatomy> That portion of the body extending from beneath the diaphragm down to the pelvis. It contains all the abdominal organs. (27 Sep 1997) |
| membrana abdominis | <anatomy> The smooth serous membrane which lines the cavity of the abdomen, or the whole body cavity when there is no diaphragm, and, turning back, surrounds the viscera, forming a closed, or nearly closed, sac. Alternative forms: peritonaeum. Origin: L. Peritoneum, peritonaeum, Gr, fr. To stretch all around or over; around + to stretch. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| musculi abdominis | Muscles forming the wall of the abdomen including rectus abdominis, external and internal oblique muscles, transversus abdominis, and quadratus abdominis. Synonym: musculi abdominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus obliquus externus abdominis | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, fifth to twelfth ribs; insertion, anterior half of lateral lip of iliac crest, inguinal ligament, and anterior layer of the rectus sheath; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, draws thorax downward; nerve supply, thoracoabdominal nerves. Synonym: musculus obliquus externus abdominis, abdominal external oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
