18
Q

There are 2 muscles of the anterior abdominal wall, running in a vertical orientation. Name them.

A

Rectus abdominis Pyramidalis

19
Q

Function of rectus abdominis.

A

Flexing of abdomen.

20
Q

Innervation of Rectus Abdominis.

A

T7-T12 Anterior Rami

21
Q

What is the rectus sheath?

A

Tough fibrous sheath covering rectus abdominis.

Consisits of interlaced aponeuroses of 3 flat abdominal muscles

22
Q

What forms the rectus sheath?

A

Aponeuroses of 1) External oblique 2) internal oblique 3) Transversus abdominis

23
Q

What is an aponeurosis?

A

Thin sheet-like tendon for muscles with a wide area of attachment.

24
Q

How does the rectus sheath differ above and below the umbilicus?

A

Above umbilicus: sheath present anterior and posterior to RA muscle.

Below umbilicus: Below umbilicus, the aponeuroses of all three muscles, EO, IO and TA, pass anterior to the rectus abdominis to form the anterior rectus sheath, leaving only the transversalis fascia to cover the RA posteriorly [From text book, page 115]
