Superficial Fascia
2 components :
Outer fatty layer ( Camper’s Fascia) continues into thigh
Inner membranous layer ( Scarpa’s Fascia) continues into thigh and scrotum
Deep fascia
- Outer investing layer which is thin
- Inner investing layer forms the posterior wall of the inguinal canal ( transversalis fascia)
Subserous (extraserous) fascia
- External backing of serous membrane (ex. Peritoneum). In this case the
extraserous fascia is called extraperitoneal fascia
A few helpful hints about the anterior abdominal muscles
-4 muscles
-The lateral 3 muscle have aponeuroses that surround the middle muscle (rectus abdominus
-parts of the ribs serve as the superior attachments
-parts of the pelvis serve as the inferior attachments
- they have similar functions, innervations, and blood supply
