Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 3 TSC 062 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Rectus Sheath and the Linea Alba
Captions available
The idea
The rectus sheath is a sheet of connective tissue covering each rectus abdominis muscle, and the linea alba is the midline where the abdominal muscles attach.
In practice
The two oblique muscles and the transversus abdominis attach to the linea alba, and both rectus muscles lie beside it.
Where people slip
These connective layers, not the muscle bellies alone, give the abdominal wall much of its structure.
