Fascia Transversalis

Fascia transversalis

> Fascia is an anatomical formation of subcutaneous tissue, consisting of bundles of connective tissue fibers that form fibrous membranes (fascia) connecting parts of the body and internal organs.

Transverse fascia Covers the thigh in a semicircle from the front and back sides. Its lateral edges are attached to the inguinal ligament and the pubic tubercle. Anteriorly, it covers the anterior wall of the femoral canal, supporting the body of the medial mena, supplied by the anterolateral artery. The anterior wall of the femoral canal is formed by a muscular aponeurosis with branches of the superior and inferior epigastric arteries. Behind the fascia there is a deep muscle section - the psoas major muscle, under which there is a muscle of the same name - the lateral rectus femoris. They originate on the crests of the iliac bone and pass into the tendons, and then form a thick tendon plate. When stressed, the back wall protrudes strongly
