    Study Notes

    Abdominal Wall Anatomy

    • The abdomen is divided into abdominopelvic regions covered by skin, superficial fascia, muscles, deep fascias, extraperitoneal fascia, and parietal peritoneum.
    • The anterolateral abdominal wall consists of five muscles: external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, and pyramidalis, serving to protect viscera and assist in various bodily functions.
    • The external oblique is the most superficial muscle, with large aponeuroses covering the anterior part of the abdominal wall to the linea alba, and it is associated with inguinal and lacunar ligaments.
    • The internal oblique is smaller and thinner than the external oblique, with aponeuroses blending into the linea alba.
    • The transversus abdominis is a deep muscle with horizontally oriented muscular fibers ending in an anterior aponeurosis that blends with the linea alba.
    • The rectus abdominis is a vertical muscle enclosed within a tendinous sheath by the aponeuroses of the flat muscles, and it may be absent, extending from the pubis to the linea alba.
    • The posterior wall muscles include the psoas major and minor muscles, quadratus lumborum muscles, diaphragm, and iliacus muscles, each with distinct anatomical functions.
    • The psoas major muscles cover the anterolateral surface of the lumbar vertebrae, while the quadratus lumborum muscles fill the space between ribs XII and the iliac crest.
    • The diaphragm is structurally composed of a central tendinous part arranged circumferentially with muscle fibers attached, with specific attachments to the lumbar crura and vertebral column.
    • The diaphragm features an aortic hiatus, oesophageal hiatus, and caval opening, accommodating the aorta artery, azygos vein, oesophagus, and inferior vena cava, along with the right and left phrenic nerves.
    • The peritoneum is a thin membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity and covers much of the viscera, delimiting the abdominal cavity into a serous cavity with intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal organs.
    • Organs suspended in the peritoneal cavity are referred to as intraperitoneal, while those outside the peritoneal cavity have only one surface or are secondarily retroperitoneal.
