A NEW PERSPECTIVE REGARDING THE RECTUS ABDOMINIS MUSCLE-DEVELOPMENT AND ONTOGENESIS

摘要

The present paper aims to do an objective research over the ontogenesis process of the anterolateral abdominal wall and, using the results obtained, to verify the validity of the theories formulated until now; it also aims to elaborate a theory regarding the process, if the analysis elements allow it. To fulfill the objectives of this study, we have used dissections, video images through transillumination, photographic pictures and histological studies. We have carried out a microscopic study that aims to minutely observe the processes that happen in dynamic time from early ages on. We have also run a macroscopic study through the inspection of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
