aponeurosis

Examples of aponeurosis in the following topics:

• Anterior Muscles

  • Attachments – Originates from the lower ribs and attaches to the pelvis, forming an aponeurosis toward the midline and linea alba.
  • Attaches to the lower ribs and forms an aponeurosis toward the midline and linea alba.
  • Attachments - Originates from the lower ribs, thoracolumbar fascia, and pelvis, forming an aponeurosis toward the midline and linea alba.

• Types of Connective Tissue

  • With the tensile strength of collagen, this tissue forms tendons, aponeurosis and ligaments.

• Arches of the Feet

  • The arch is further supported by the plantar aponeurosis, by the small muscles in the sole of the foot, by the tendons of the peroneus longus and the tibialis anterior and posterior, and by the ligaments of all the articulations involved.

• Facial Muscles

  • The alar section attaches to the cartilage of the nose and the transverse section to an aponeurosis covering the bridge of the nose.

• Muscles of the Humerus that Act on the Forearm

  • Attachments - Both heads originate from the scapula and attach via the bicipital aponeurosis to the fascia of the forearm.

• Lumbar Plexus

  • Its terminal branch then runs parallel to the inguinal ligament to exit the aponeurosis of the abdominal external oblique above the external inguinal ring, where it supplies the skin above the inguinal ligament (i.e., the hypogastric region) with the anterior cutaneous branch.
