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]
The falciform ligament is a double-layered fold of peritoneum that connects the anterior abdominal wall to the anterosuperior surface of the liver. It contains the ligamentum teres (a remnant of the umbilical vein) in its free edge and lies within the midline, extending from the umbilicus to the inferior surface of the diaphragm.
In human anatomy, the median umbilical ligament is an unpaired midline ligamentous structure upon the lower inner surface of the anterior abdominal wall. [1] It is covered by the median umbilical fold. [citation needed] The median umbilical ligament represents the remnant of the fetal urachus.
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.
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
Umbilical ligament may refer to: Median umbilical ligament (Ligamentum umbilicale medianum) Medial umbilical ligament (Ligamentum umbilicale mediale) Lateral umbilical fold or lateral umbilical ligament
Additionally, try incorporating lightweight, high-repetition strengthening exercises for your shoulder blade muscles, such as lateral raises, front raises and overhead presses. 4. Sitting
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])
