The linea alba attaches to the xiphoid process superiorly, and to the pubic symphysis inferiorly. It is narrow inferiorly where the two recti abdominis muscles are in contact with each other ...

    It needs to be distinguished from the lateral border of the rectus abdominis muscle sheath which is often wrongly described as semilunar line. The lateral border of the rectus sheath is part of the recently described EIT ambivium to more precisely describe this important part of the anterior abdominal wall. [1]

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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_line_of_rectus_sheath

    The arcuate line of rectus sheath (the arcuate line or the semicircular line of Douglas) is a line of demarcation [1] corresponding to the free inferior margin of the posterior layer of the rectus sheath [2] inferior to which only the anterior layer of the rectus sheath is present [3] and the rectus abdominis muscle is therefore in direct contact with the transversalis fascia. [1]
