| posterior layer of rectus abdominis sheath | 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.

See: suboccipital muscles. Synonym: musculus rectus capitis posterior minor, musculus rectus capitis posticus minor, smaller posterior rectus muscle of head. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior rectus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, superior part of common tendinous ring; insertion, superior part of sclera of the eye; action, primary, elevation; secondary, adduction and intorsion; nerve supply, oculomotor. Synonym: musculus rectus superior, attollens oculi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior rectus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, inferior part of the common tendinous ring; insertion, inferior part of sclera of the eye; action, primary, depression; secondary, adduction and extorsion; nerve supply, oculomotor (inferior branch). Synonym: musculus rectus inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
