In human anatomy, the superior epigastric artery is a terminal [1] branch of the internal thoracic artery that provides arterial supply to the abdominal wall, and upper rectus abdominis muscle. It enters the rectus sheath to descend upon the inner surface of the rectus abdominis muscle. It ends by anastomosing with the inferior epigastric artery.
Divides in hilum of kidney. Both arteries give inferior suprarenal arteries and ureteral branches. gonadal: L2: Visceral: yes: ant. Ovarian artery in females; testicular artery in males lumbar: L1-L4: Parietal: yes: post. Four on each side that supply the abdominal wall and spinal cord. The fifth pair is the lumbar branches of the iliolumbar ...
In human anatomy, the inferior epigastric artery is an artery that arises from the external iliac artery. [1]: 225 It is accompanied by the inferior epigastric vein; inferiorly, these two inferior epigastric vessels together travel within the lateral umbilical fold (which represents the lateral border of Hesselbach's triangle, the area through which direct inguinal hernias protrude. [2])
In anatomy, the abdominal wall represents the boundaries of the abdominal cavity.The abdominal wall is split into the anterolateral and posterior walls. [1]There is a common set of layers covering and forming all the walls: the deepest being the visceral peritoneum, which covers many of the abdominal organs (most of the large and small intestines, for example), and the parietal peritoneum ...
The external iliac artery provides the main blood supply to the legs. It passes down along the brim of the pelvis and gives off two large branches - the "inferior epigastric artery" and a "deep circumflex artery." These vessels supply blood to the muscles and skin in the lower abdominal wall.
The subcostal arteries, ... thus entering the anterior abdominal wall to course in between the abdominal internal oblique muscle and transverse abdominal muscle ...
An abdominal muscle strain, also called a pulled abdominal muscle, is an injury to one of the muscles of the abdominal wall. A muscle strain occurs when the muscle is stretched too far. When this occurs the muscle fibers are torn.
The celiac artery is the first major branch of the descending abdominal aorta, branching at a 90° angle. [1] [2] This occurs just below the crus of the diaphragm. [2] This is around the first lumbar vertebra. [3] There are three main divisions of the celiac artery, and each in turn has its own named branches:
