  2. Lateral umbilical fold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_umbilical_fold

    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]

  3. Umbilical folds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_folds

    Related to the urinary bladder, anteriorly there are the following folds: one median umbilical fold on the median umbilical ligament (which in turn, contains the urachus) two medial umbilical folds on the occluded umbilical artery; two lateral umbilical folds on the inferior epigastric vessels

  4. Inferior epigastric artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_epigastric_artery

    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])

  5. Medial inguinal fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_inguinal_fossa

    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.

  6. Broad ligament of the uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad_ligament_of_the_uterus

    The peritoneum surrounds the uterus like a flat sheet that folds over its fundus, covering it anteriorly and posteriorly; on the sides of the uterus, this sheet of peritoneum comes in direct contact with itself, forming the double layer of peritoneum known as the broad ligament of the uterus.

  7. Connecting stalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_stalk

    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 ...

  8. Falciform ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falciform_ligament

    The falciform ligament can become canalized if an individual is suffering from portal hypertension.Due to the increase in venous congestion, blood is pushed down from the liver towards the anterior abdominal wall and if blood pools here, will result in dilatation of veins around the umbilicus.

  9. Greater omentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_omentum

    The greater omentum is the larger of the two peritoneal folds. It consists of a double sheet of peritoneum, folded on itself so that it has four layers. [2] The two layers of the greater omentum descend from the greater curvature of the stomach and the beginning of the duodenum. [2]
