  2. Inguinal canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inguinal_canal

    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 ...

  3. Crura of superficial inguinal ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crura_of_superficial...

    The superficial inguinal ring is bounded below by the crest of the pubis; on either side by the margins of the opening in the aponeurosis, which are called the crura of the ring; and above, by a series of curved intercrural fibers.

  4. Intercrural fibres of superficial inguinal ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercrural_fibres_of...

    As they pass across the subcutaneous inguinal ring, they are connected together by delicate fibrous tissue, forming a fascia, called the intercrural fascia.. This intercrural fascia is continued down as a tubular prolongation around the spermatic cord and testis, and encloses them in a sheath; hence it is also called the external spermatic fascia.

  5. Inguinal hernia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inguinal_hernia

    Indirect inguinal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude through the deep inguinal ring, lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels; this may be caused by failure of embryonic closure of the processus vaginalis. In the case of the female, the opening of the superficial inguinal ring is smaller than that of the male. As a result, the ...

  6. Fascia of Camper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascia_of_Camper

    Superficial fascia is composed of two layers: the fatty outer layer, known as Camper's fascia, and the more membranous inner layer, called Scarpa's fascia. These parts of the superficial fascia are most prominent in the lower aspect of the abdominal wall below the level of the umbilicus.

  7. Fascia of Scarpa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascia_of_Scarpa

    It is named for Italian anatomist Antonio Scarpa. [2] His description of the membranous superficial fascia is vague in his 1809 hernia monograph. [3] Life-size illustrations included by Scarpa do not identify the layer even though some show all the other anatomical layers of the abdominal wall in the inguinal region.

  8. Reflected ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflected_ligament

    The reflected inguinal ligament (triangular fascia) is a layer of tendinous fibers of a triangular shape, formed by an expansion from the lacunar ligament and the inferior crus of the subcutaneous inguinal ring.

  9. Conjoint tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjoint_tendon

    The conjoint tendon (previously known as the inguinal aponeurotic falx) is a sheath of connective tissue formed from the lower part of the common aponeurosis of the abdominal internal oblique muscle and the transversus abdominis muscle, joining the muscle to the pelvis. It forms the medial part of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal.
