Abdominal wall divided into: 1. Anteriolateral abdominal wall Anterior wall Right lateral wall (Right Flank) Left lateral wall (Left Flank) 2. Posterior abdominal wall
1. Anteriolateral Abdominal Wall
This extended from the thoracic cage to the pelvis and bounded : Superiorly 7th through 10th costal cartilages and and xiphoid process Inferiorly Inguinal ligaments and the pelvic bones. The wall consists of skin, subcutaneous tissues (fat), muscles, deep fascia and parietal peritoneum.
LAYERS OF ABDOMINAL WALL
The layers of the abdominal wall vary, depending on where it is you are looking. For instance, it is somewhat different along the lateral sides of the abdomen than it is at the anterior side. It is also somewhat different at its lower regions.
LATERAL skin superficial

External obliquus muscle
External oblique is the most superficial of the three flat muscles. It arises from the middle and lower 5th – 12th ribs and passes inferomedially to insert into the linea alba, pubic tubercle and the iliac crest.
Internal Oblique muscle
Internal oblique has fibres arising from the inguinal ligament and iliac crest that fan out from the anterior superior iliac spine to insert into the linea alba, conjoint tendon and the lower 3 ribs. It is innervated by the thoracoabdominal and lumbar nerves.
Transversus abdominis
Transversalis is the deepest of the flat abdominal muscles that arises from the costal cartilages, iliac crest and inguinal ligament. The fibres run transversomedially to insert into the linea alba, pubic crest and conjoint tendon
Rectus Abdominis
Rectus abdominus arises from the pubic symphysis and pubic crest, and inserts into the xiphoid process and costal cartilages.
Pyramidalis muscle
Pyramidalis arises from the pubic crest and inserts into the linea alba. Its function is to tense the linea alba.

Applied Anatomy Posterior abdominal pain: Ilio-psoas
has relationship to kidney, ureters, caecum, appendix, colon, pancreas….etc.
When
any of these structures is diseased movement of the ilio psoas usually causes pain.
When
intra abdominal inflammation is suspected the Ilio Psoas Test performed by moving ileopsoas muscle and if positive if it causes pain.
Psoas Abscess Hematogenous spread to the lumbar vertebrae may form an abscess which may spread from the vertebrae into the Psoas sheath producing a Psoas abscess.

Inguinal Region Inguinal Canal: Oblique passage through lower abdominal wall. Site of potential weakness. Transmits: Spermatic cord in males. Round ligament of uterus in females. Extends between superficial and deep inguinal rings.
Inguinal Canal Its boundaries are: 1) Anterior wall – aponeurosis of external oblique 2) Posterior wall – transversalis fascia 3) Roof – internal oblique and transverse abdominus 4) Floor – inguinal ligament (superior surface)
Inguinal Region The two openings of inguinal canal are : 1. Superficial inguinal ring:
Superficial opening of the inguinal canal. Lies above and lateral to pubic tubercle. Larger in males: Transmits spermatic cord in males. Transmits round ligament of uterus in females.
Inguinal Region 2. Deep inguinal ring: Opening of the evagination of the transversalis fascia. Lies above inguinal ligament between anterior iliac spine pubic tubercle.

Hesselbach’s Triangle Hesselbach’s (Inguinal) Triangle is an important structure as it is the site for direct hernias. The triangle has the following borders: 1) Medial border of rectus abdominus 2) Inguinal ligament (inferiorly) 3) Inferior epigastric vessels
Abdominal Hernia Orifices Hernia is defined as the protrusion of an organ
through it’s containing wall. It can occur because of
Normal weakness found in everyone and related to anatomy of the area e.g., place where vessel or viscus enters or leaves the abdomen, muscles fail to overlap or there is only scar tissue (Umbilicus) Abnormal weakness caused by congenital abnormality or acquired as result of trauma or diseases. High intraabdominal pressure from Coughing / Abdominal distention

PERITONEUM
LIAT DI DIKTAT
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls
The walls of the abdomen are lined with parietal peritoneum.Fig. 9 This is a thin serous membrane consisting of a layer of mesothelium resting on connective tissue. It is continuous below with the parietal peritoneum lining the pelvis.
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls The peritoneum can be regarded as a balloon. The parietal peritoneum lines the walls of the abdominal and pelvic cavities, and the visceral peritoneum covers the organs. The potential space between the parietal and visceral layers is called the peritoneal cavity. In males, this is a closed cavity, but in females, there is communication with the exterior through the uterine tubes, the uterus, and the vagina.
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls Between the parietal peritoneum and the fascial lining of the abdominal and pelvic walls is a layer of connective tissue called the extraperitoneal tissue; in the area of the kidneys this tissue contains a large amount of fat, which supports the kidneys

Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls The peritoneal cavity is the largest cavity in the body and is divided into two parts: the greater sac and the lesser sac.
The greater and lesser sacs are in free communication with one another through an oval window called the opening of the lesser sac, or the epiploic foramen. The peritoneum secretes a small amount of serous fluid, the peritoneal fluid, which lubricates the surfaces of the peritoneum and allows free movement between the viscera.
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls Intraperitoneal and Retroperitoneal Relationships. Intraperitoneal when it is almost totally covered with visceral peritoneum. Retroperitoneal organs lie behind the peritoneum and are only partially covered with visceral peritoneum. Pancreas The ascending and descending parts of the colon
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls Peritoneal Ligaments Peritoneal ligaments are two-layered folds of peritoneum that connect solid viscera to the abdominal walls. The liver, for example, is connected to the diaphragm by the falciform ligament, the coronary ligament, and the right and left triangular ligaments.
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls Omenta are two-layered folds of peritoneum that connect the stomach to another viscus. The greater omentum connects the greater curvature of the stomach to the transverse colon. The lesser omentum suspends the lesser curvature of the stomach from the fissure of the ligamentum venosum and the porta hepatis on the undersurface of the liver
Peritoneal Lining of the Abdominal Walls Mesenteries are two-layered folds of peritoneum connecting parts of the intestines to the posterior abdominal wall, for example, the mesentery of the small intestine, the transverse mesocolon, and the sigmoid mesocolon. The peritoneal ligaments, omenta, and mesenteries permit blood, lymph vessels, and nerves to reach the viscera.
Peritoneal Pouches, Recesses, Spaces, and Gutters. The lesser sac lies behind the stomach and the lesser omentum. The opening into the lesser sac (epiploic foramen). Duodenal Recesses Close to the duodenojejunal junction, there may be four small pocketlike pouches of peritoneum called the superior duodenal, inferior duodenal, paraduodenal, and retroduodenal recesses
Peritoneal Pouches, Recesses, Spaces, and Gutters.
Cecal Recesses
Folds of peritoneum close to the cecum produce three peritoneal recesses called the superior ileocecal, the inferior ileocecal, and the retrocecal recesses.
Intersigmoid Recess The intersigmoid recess is situated at the apex of the inverted, V-shaped root of the sigmoid mesocolon.
Peritoneal Pouches, Recesses, Spaces, and Gutters. Subphrenic Spaces The right and left anterior subphrenic spaces lie between the diaphragm and the liver, on each side of the falciform ligament. The right posterior subphrenic space lies between the right lobe of the liver, the right kidney, and the right colic flexure. The right extraperitoneal space lies between the layers of the coronary ligament and is therefore situated between the liver and the diaphragm
Peritoneal Pouches, Recesses, Spaces, and Gutters. Paracolic Gutters The paracolic gutters lie on the lateral and medial sides of the ascending and descending colons. The subphrenic spaces and the paracolic gutters are clinically important because they may be sites for the collection and movement of infected peritoneal fluid
Peritoneum Nerve Supply of the Peritoneum Parietal peritoneum is sensitive to pain, temperature, touch, and pressure. Visceral peritoneum is sensitive only to stretch and tearing and is not sensitive to touch, pressure, or temperature.

Functions of the Peritoneum
Peritoneal fluid ensures that the mobile viscera glide easily on one another. The peritoneal coverings of the intestine tend to stick together in the presence of infection. In this manner, many of the intraperitoneal infections are sealed off and remain localized. greater omentum is often referred abdominal policeman.
Functions of the Peritoneum
The peritoneal folds play an important part in suspending the various organs within the peritoneal cavity and serve as a means of conveying the blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves to these organs. Large amounts of fat are stored in the peritoneal ligaments and mesenteries, and especially large
amounts can be found in the greater omentum.
