    The document describes the layers of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall. The anterior and lateral walls are considered together because their muscles function similarly. From superficial to deep, the lateral wall contains skin, fascia, three muscle layers, more fascia, fat and peritoneum. The anterior wall above an arcuate line contains skin, fascia, an external muscle layer, two internal muscle layers, and more fascia/fat/peritoneum. Below the line it contains the same layers but without the external muscle layer.

    Abdomen Abdominal wall The anterior portion and the lateral portion of the abdominal wall are often

    n considered together (anterolateral) because the muscles are functionally similar, and are functionally different than those of the posterior aspect. Lateral: from superficial to deep: skin, fatty layer of superficial fascia (Camper's fascia), membranous layer of superficial fascia (Scarpa's fascia), deep fascia, external abdominal oblique muscle, deep fascia, internal abdominal oblique muscle, deep fascia, tranversus abdominis muscle, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fat, parietal peritoneum Anterior (superior to arcuate line): from superficial to deep: skin, fatty layer of superficial fascia, membranous layer of superficial fascia, deep fascia, external abdominal oblique aponeurosis*, anterior layer of internal abdominal oblique aponeurosis*, rectus abdominis, posterior layer of internal abdominal oblique aponeurosis*, transversus abdominis aponeurosis*, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fat, parietal peritoneum Anterior (inferior to arcuate line): from superficial to deep: skin, fatty layer of superficial fascia, membranous layer of superficial fascia, deep fascia, external abdominal oblique aponeurosis*, internal abdominal oblique aponeurosis*, transversus abdominis aponeurosis*, rectus abdominis, transversalis fascia, extraperitoneal fat, parietal peritoneum * rectus sheath
