The umbilical ring is a dense fibrous ring surrounding the umbilicus at birth. [1] At about the sixth week of embryological development, the midgut herniates through the umbilical ring; six weeks later it returns to the abdominal cavity and rotates around the superior mesenteric artery.
The superficial inguinal ring (subcutaneous inguinal ring or external inguinal ring) is an anatomical structure in the anterior wall of the mammalian abdomen. It is a triangular opening that forms the exit of the inguinal canal, which houses the ilioinguinal nerve , the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve , and the spermatic cord (in men ...
The round ligament of the uterus originates at the uterine horns, in the parametrium.The round ligament exits the pelvis via the deep inguinal ring. [3] It passes through the inguinal canal to reach the labium majus, [4] [5] [2] inserting into the fibro-fatty substance of the labium majus.
Parts of the adult navel include the "umbilical cord remnant" or "umbilical tip", which is the often protruding scar left by the detachment of the umbilical cord. This is located in the center of the navel, sometimes described as the belly button. Around the cord remnant is the "umbilical collar", formed by the dense fibrous umbilical ring ...
The amniotic membrane and its contents form the umbilical cord that connects the embryo and the placenta. [3] [4] The root of the connecting stalk contains the allantois as a diverticulum of hindgut endoderm along with umbilical vessels. [5] [2] Anomalies are usually referred to as body stalk anomalies and occur in approximately 1 in 15,000 ...
The medial inguinal fossa is a depression located within the inguinal triangle on the peritoneal surface of the anterior abdominal wall between the ridges formed by the lateral umbilical fold and the medial umbilical ligament, corresponding to the superficial inguinal ring.
Superiorly, the lateral umbilical fold ends where the vessels reach and enter the rectus sheath [1] at the arcuate line of rectus sheath; in spite of the name, the lateral umbilical folds do not extend as far superiorly as the umbilicus. [2] Inferiorly, it extends to just medial to the deep inguinal ring. [citation needed]
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. [2])
