  2. Rectus abdominis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_abdominis_muscle

    The rectus abdominis has many sources of arterial blood supply. Classification of the vascular anatomy of muscles: First, the inferior epigastric artery and vein (or veins) run superiorly on the posterior surface of the rectus abdominis, enter the rectus fascia at the arcuate line , and serve the lower part of the muscle.

  3. Thoraco-abdominal nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoraco-abdominal_nerves

    They supply the rectus abdominis and end as the anterior cutaneous branches of the abdomen; they supply the skin of the front of the abdomen. The lower intercostal nerves supply the intercostales and abdominal muscles; the last three send branches to the serratus posterior inferior. About the middle of their course they give off lateral ...

  4. Pyramidalis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidalis_muscle

    The pyramidalis muscle is a small triangular muscle, anterior to the rectus abdominis muscle, and contained in the rectus sheath. Structure ... Nerve supply The ...

  5. Superior epigastric artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_epigastric_artery

    In human anatomy, the superior epigastric artery is a terminal [1] branch of the internal thoracic artery that provides arterial supply to the abdominal wall, and upper rectus abdominis muscle. It enters the rectus sheath to descend upon the inner surface of the rectus abdominis muscle. It ends by anastomosing with the inferior epigastric artery.

  6. Transverse abdominal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_abdominal_muscle

    Training the rectus abdominis muscles alone will not and can not give one a "flat" belly; this effect is achieved only through training the TVA. [3] Thus, to the extent that traditional abdominal exercises (e.g. crunches) or more advanced abdominal exercises tend to "flatten" the belly, this is owed to the tangential training of the TVA ...

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
