  2. Transverse abdominal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_abdominal_muscle

    The transverse abdominal and the segmental stabilizers (e.g. the multifidi) of the spine have evolved to work in tandem. It is true that the TVA is vital to back and core health, the muscle also has the effect of pulling in what would otherwise be a protruding abdomen (hence its nickname, the “corset muscle”).

  3. Transverse abdominis plane block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_abdominis_plane...

    A transverse abdominis plane block, also called TAP block, is a regional technique to provide analgesia after lower abdominal wall operations. The techniques was first introduced by Rafi [ 1 ] in 2001.

  4. Iliohypogastric nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliohypogastric_nerve

    The anterior cutaneous branch ("hypogastric branch") continues onward between the abdominal internal oblique and transverse muscles.. It then pierces the internal oblique, becomes cutaneous by perforating the aponeurosis of the external oblique about 2.5 cm above the subcutaneous inguinal ring, and is distributed to the skin of the hypogastric region.

  5. Abdominal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_muscles

    Abdominal muscles cover the anterior and lateral abdominal region and meet at the anterior midline. These muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall can be divided into four groups: the external obliques , the internal obliques , the transversus abdominis , and the rectus abdominis .

  6. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cutaneous_nerve...

    Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a nerve entrapment condition that causes chronic pain of the abdominal wall. [1] It occurs when nerve endings of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves (7–12) are 'entrapped' in abdominal muscles, causing a severe localized nerve (neuropathic) pain that is usually experienced at the front of the abdomen.

  7. Abdominis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominis

    The abdominal wall is made up of several layers of muscles, which are collectively known as the abdominal muscles. These muscles support the spine, protect the internal organs, and help with movement. The five main abdominal muscles are: Rectus abdominis muscle; External obliques muscle; Internal obliques muscle; Pyramidalis muscle

  8. Thoracolumbar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracolumbar_fascia

    The thoracolumbar fascia (lumbodorsal fascia or thoracodorsal fascia) is a complex, [1]: 1137 multilayer arrangement of fascial and aponeurotic layers forming a separation between the paraspinal muscles on one side, and the muscles of the posterior abdominal wall (quadratus lumborum, and psoas major [1]: 1137 ) on the other.

  9. Linea semilunaris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linea_semilunaris

    The linea semilunaris (also semilunar line or Spigelian line) is described by Adriaan van den Spiegel (°1578 †1625) described the Linea Semilunaris as the line forming and marking the transition from muscle to aponeurosis in the transversus abdominis muscle of the abdomen. It needs to be distinguished from the lateral border of the rectus ...
