Answer to Hansel Bach

Correct answer is C. In the dissection, the anterior abdominal wall has been reflected anteriorly and one is looking at it from behind. The parietal peritoneum and transversalis fascia were removed so that the posterior rectus sheath is visible. Recall the mnemonic for Hesselbach triangle, RIP (Rectus sheath (medial), Inferior epigastric artery (lateral), Poupart's ligament (inguinal ligament, inferior)

  1. = Linea alba

  2. = Arcuate line

  3. = Hesselbach triangle

  4. = Deep inguinal ring

  5. = Uterus
