The pubic tubercle is a prominent forward-projecting tubercle on the upper border of the medial portion of the superior ramus of the pubis bone. The inguinal ligament attaches to it. [1] Part of the abdominal external oblique muscle inserts onto it. [1] The inferior epigastric artery passes between the pubic tubercle and the anterior superior ...
Structures passing behind the inguinal ligament. Anterolateral view of the right side of the pelvis. The inguinal ligament (/ ˈɪŋɡwɪnəl / [1][2]), also known as Poupart's ligament or groin ligament, is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. It forms the base of the inguinal canal through which an ...
19928. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The inguinal canal is a passage in the anterior abdominal wall on each side of the body (one on each side of the midline), which in males, convey the spermatic cords and in females, the round ligament of the uterus. The inguinal canals are larger and more prominent in males.
The conjoint tendon is formed from the lower part of the common aponeurosis of the abdominal internal oblique muscle and the transversus abdominis muscle. [1] It inserts into the pubic crest and the pectineal line immediately behind the superficial inguinal ring. [1] It is usually conjoint with the tendon of the internal oblique muscle, but ...
Its fibers run perpendicular to the external oblique muscle, beginning in the thoracolumbar fascia of the lower back, the anterior 2/3 of the iliac crest (upper part of hip bone) and the lateral half of the inguinal ligament. The muscle fibers run from these points superomedially (up and towards midline) to the muscle's insertions on the ...
The pudendal canal (also called Alcock's canal) is an anatomical structure formed by the obturator fascia (fascia of the obturator internus muscle) lining the lateral wall of the ischioanal fossa. The internal pudendal artery and veins , and pudendal nerve pass through the pudendal canal, and the perineal nerve arises within it.
Inguinal triangle. Internal (from posterior to anterior) view of right inguinal area of the male pelvis. Inguinal triangle is labeled in green. The three surrounding structures: inferior epigastric vessels: Run from upper left to center. inguinal ligament: Runs from upper right to bottom left. rectus abdominis muscle: Runs from upper left to ...
In human anatomy, the inferior epigastric artery is an artery that arises from the external iliac artery. [1]: 225 It is accompanied by the inferior epigastric vein; inferiorly, these two inferior epigastric vessels together travel within the lateral umbilical fold (which represents the lateral border of Hesselbach's triangle, the area through which direct inguinal hernias protrude.
