Abdominal wall

The contour of the abdominal wall is roughly hexagonal. Its superior border is bounded by the coastal margins, lateral borders by mid-axillary lines, and inferior borders bounded by the anterior half of the iliac crest, inguinal ligaments, pubic crest, and pubic symphysis. ==Layers==

In human anatomy, the layers of the anterolateral abdominal wall are (from superficial to deep): • Skin • Subcutaneous tissue • Fascia • Camper's fascia - fatty superficial layer. • Scarpa's fascia - deep fibrous layer. • Superficial abdominal fascia • Muscle • External oblique abdominal muscle • Internal oblique abdominal muscle • Rectus abdominis • Transverse abdominal muscle • Pyramidalis muscle • Transversalis fascia • Extraperitoneal fat • Peritoneum ==Inner surface==

The surface contains several ligaments separated by fossae: ==See also==
