  2. Rectus sheath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_sheath

    The rectus sheath (also called the rectus fascia [1]) is a tough fibrous compartment formed by the aponeuroses of the transverse abdominal muscle, and the internal and external oblique muscles. It contains the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles, as well as vessels and nerves.

  3. Linea alba (abdomen) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linea_alba_(abdomen)

    The linea alba is formed by the union of aponeuroses (of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall [2]) that collectively make up the rectus sheath. The linea alba attaches to the xiphoid process superiorly, and to the pubic symphysis inferiorly. It is narrow inferiorly where the two recti abdominis muscles are in contact with each other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_line_of_rectus_sheath

    The arcuate line of rectus sheath (the arcuate line or the semicircular line of Douglas) is a line of demarcation [1] corresponding to the free inferior margin of the posterior layer of the rectus sheath [2] inferior to which only the anterior layer of the rectus sheath is present [3] and the rectus abdominis muscle is therefore in direct contact with the transversalis fascia. [1]

  6. Abdominal wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_wall

    In anatomy, the abdominal wall represents the boundaries of the abdominal cavity.The abdominal wall is split into the anterolateral and posterior walls. [1]There is a common set of layers covering and forming all the walls: the deepest being the visceral peritoneum, which covers many of the abdominal organs (most of the large and small intestines, for example), and the parietal peritoneum ...

    The rectus abdominis muscle is not the most superficial abdominal muscle. The tendonous sheath extending from the external obliques cover the rectus abdominis. The rectus abdominis is the muscle that very fit people develop into "six-pack" abs, though there are five vertical sections on each side.

    From there, though, we need to start extrapolating out the 819 number, and if you chart 20 cycles of 819, you can fit every key planet into the mix. And Mars may be the kicker for the overall length.

  9. Linea semilunaris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linea_semilunaris

    The lateral border of the rectus sheath is part of the recently described EIT ambivium to more precisely describe this important part of the anterior abdominal wall. [1] The EIT ambivium is formed by the Musculus Obliquus Externus (MO E ), the Musculus Obliquus Internus (MO I ) and the Musculus Transversus Abdominis ( T A).
