Abdominal region
The regions of the abdomen are theoretical divisions used
by clinicians to help localize, identify and diagnose a
patients symptoms. There are two main forms of
categorization, the first which is simpler and is mapped
out by dividing the abdomen into four quadrants, while
the second method divides it into nine segments.
Abdominal region
Abdominal organs include parts of the:
• Digestive system - stomach, small intestine, large intestine
, exocrine pancreas, liver and gallbladder
• Urinary system - kidneys and ureters
• Immune system - spleen
• Endocrine system - adrenal glands, endocrine pancreas
Abdominal muscles
Abdominal muscles
Quadratus lumborum muscle
The quadratus lumborum muscle is a muscle of the
posterior abdominal wall lying deep inside the abdomen and dorsal to the
iliopsoas.
It is the deepest muscle of the posterior abdominal wall, and it is often
mistakenly referred to as one of the muscles of the back.
Its shape is irregular, but is generally quadriangular, which is the reason
why it is described as 'quadratus' in latin.
Besides the spine, it also attaches to the twelwth rib, which makes it very
important for stabilization of both vertebral column and the rib during
various movements of the spine.
In order to palpate the muscle one needs place the fingers above the
posterior iliac crest at the level of the hip.

External abdominal oblique is the largest and the most superficial of the
lateral abdominal muscles. It lies beneath the thoracic and abdominal skin,
covering the internal abdominal oblique and anterior halves of the ribs and
intercostal muscles. Its muscular part contributes to the lateral part of the
abdominal wall. Its aponeurotic part, however, contributes to the anterior
abdominal wall, as it contributes to the anterior layer of the rectus sheath.
The superior, medial and inferior margins of the muscle relate to their
respective attachment points while the posterior margin is free. This is in
contrast to the other lateral abdominal muscles, all of which attach to the
thoracolumbar fascia at their posterior ends. The portion of the inferior
margin of this muscle that extends between the ASIS and pubic tubercle
curves posteriorly, forming a thick incurve, or channel called the
inguinal ligament (of Poupart)which constitutes the floor of inguinal canal.
Abdominal Muscles
(External Abdominal oblique)
Function
External abdominal oblique muscle has a variety of
functions depending if it contracts unilaterally or
bilaterally. When acting unilaterally and in synergy with
the contralateral internal abdominal oblique, it rotates the
trunk to the opposite side. Working together with the
ipsilateral abdominal and back muscles, it contributes to
lateral flexion of the trunk on the same side.
Abdominal Muscles
(Transversus abdominis)
Relations
Trasversus abdominis lies on the lateral abdominal wall, deep to the internal abdominal
oblique and external abdominal oblique muscles. It comprises the deepest layer of the
lateral abdominal wall.
The aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle participates in comprising the
rectus sheath.
This is a multilayered aponeurosis that encloses the biggest portion of the rectus
abdominis and pyramidalis muscles on their anterior and posterior sides.
The transversus abdominis aponeurosis makes up the posterior wall of the rectus sheath
which covers the posterior upper three quarters of rectus abdominis, together with the
aponeurosis of the internal abdominal oblique muscle.
On the other hand, the aponeuroses of the transversus abdominis and internal abdominal
oblique converge with the aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique anterior to the
rectus abdominis and form the the lower quarter of the anterior wall of the rectus sheath.
The point at which they converge is known as the arcuate line, and is located 2.5cm
below the umbilicus.
Abdominal Muscles
(Transversus abdominis)
Function
Along with other muscles of the abdominal wall, transversus
abdominis plays an important role in maintaining normal abdominal
wall tension.
Therefore, these muscles have a protective as well as a supportive
role, holding the abdominal organs in place.
Additionally, weakness of transversus abdominis or other abdominal
muscles increases the risk for abdominal hernias.
The lateral abdominal muscles, including transversus abdominis, also
cause compression of the intra-abdominal viscera thereby increasing
the intra-abdominal pressure.
This action is facilitating expulsive functions such as forced
expiration, micturition, defecation and final stages of childbirth.

Peritoneum and peritoneal cavity
The peritoneum is a two-layered membranous sac that:
Between the sheets is a thin space called the peritoneal cavity containing
small amounts of serous peritoneal fluid.
Since the peritoneal layers are continuous with each other, they form
recesses (pouches) on sites where the parietal reflects to the visceral layer.
Some organs such as the kidney, adrenal glands and ureters are not covered
with the visceral peritoneum, and thus are called retroperitoneal organs.
The remainder of the abdominal organs are entirely covered with the
visceral layer and are called intraperitoneal organs.

On that topic, there are several important questions that need to be
answered:
• Which muscles make up the pelvic floor?
• What arteries and nerves supply the muscles of the pelvic floor?
• What causes pelvic floor dysfunction?
• What is the best exercise for the pelvic floor?

the following structures:

Coccygeus (ischiococcygeus)
The coccygeus (ischiococcygeus) muscle is sometimes
considered as a part of the levator ani complex rather than as a
separate muscle. However, this muscle is actually a separate
entity that is situated at the most posterosuperior aspect of the
muscle complex.
It is a triangular sheet of muscle with its apex inserted on the
tip and pelvic surface of the ischial spine and the base is
attached to the 5th sacral segment and the lateral margins of
the coccyx. The remaining fibers of the muscle converge at
the midline. The muscle is anteriorly related to the pelvic
surface of the sacrospinous ligament.

Iliococcygeus
Anococcygeal ligament (inferior view)The iliococcygeus part of
levator ani is anteroinferior to coccygeus muscle and posterosuperior to
pubococcygeus. The muscle extends laterally to the tendinous arch of
the levator ani. The posterolateral fibers have attachments to the ischial
spine (just inferior and anterior to the coccygeus muscle attachment),
while the anterolateral fibers attach at the obturator canal. The posterior
midline fibers are attached to the lower part of the sacrum and coccyx.
The majority of fibers of iliococcygeus meet with fibers of the
contralateral half of the muscle to form a midline raphe. The raphe – a
groove where the two halves of the muscle unite – is continuous with
the anococcygeal ligament and provides a strong posterior attachment
for the pelvic floor.

Pubococcygeus
The pubococcygeus is the intermediate part of the levator ani muscles. The anterior fibers
arise from the posterior surface of the pubic arch and travel posteriorly in the horizontal
plane. The fibers then decussate to meet with the fibers from the contralateral side, to
form a sling around the distal parts of the pelvic organs. Pubococcygeus can be further
subdivided based on the structures that the fibers are immediately associated with:
• Puboperinealis - The innermost fibers travel adjacent to the urethra and its associated
sphincter as it exits the pelvic floor. In some instances, the muscle is called pubourethralis
because it is associated with the proximal half of the urethra and forms part of its
sphincter complex
• Puboprostaticus (males) and pubovaginalis (females) - Another group of muscle fibers
passes around the inferior part of the prostate (in males) or posterior wall of the vagina
(in females).
• Puboanalis - A few fibers cross to the other side and blends with the fibers of the
longitudinal rectal muscles and fascia to form the conjoint longitudinal coat of the
anal canal.

Collectively, the

pubococcygeus and the
puborectalis muscle
together are referred to as
the pubovisceralis.
