The spermatic cord in the male and the round ligament of the uterus in the female pass through the transversalis fascia at the deep inguinal ring, the entrance to the inguinal canal. This opening is not visible externally. In the male, the transverse fascia extends downwards as the internal spermatic fascia. [4]
The femoral triangle is bounded: [2] superiorly (also known as the base) by the inguinal ligament. [2]medially by the medial border of the adductor longus muscle. (Some people consider the femoral triangle to be smaller hence the medial border being at the lateral border of the adductor longus muscle.) [2]
The inguinal ligament (/ ˈ ɪ ŋ ɡ w ɪ n ə l / [1] [2]), also known as Poupart's ligament or groin ligament, is a band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine. It forms the base of the inguinal canal through which an indirect inguinal hernia may develop.
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.
The retroinguinal space (or Bogros' space) is the extraperitoneal space situated deep to the inguinal ligament. It's limited by the fascia transversalis anteriorly, the peritoneum posteriorly and the iliac fascia laterally. This preperitoneal space communicates with prevesical space of Retzius. It is divided into two compartments.
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.

The vascular lacuna (Latin: lacuna vasorum (retroinguinalis)) is the medial compartment beneath the inguinal ligament. [1] It is separated from the lateral muscular lacuna by the iliopectineal arch. [1] [2] It gives passage to the femoral vessels, [1] lymph vessels and lymph nodes. The lacunar ligament can be a site of entrapment for femoral ...
