Arcuate line (linea semicircularis, Douglas' line, rectus sheath)

I was talking about the arcuate line of the anterior abdominal wall this week, and as I worked so hard to understand and explain it I thought I'd explain it again here. Efficiency of effort and all that.
The arcuate line describes the change in the posterior lamina of the rectus abdominis sheath.
We'll look at the muscles of the abdominal wall, how most of them become fibrous aponeurosis sheets that surround the rectus abdominis muscle, and how that is different superior and inferior to the arcuate line.

I learnt more in this 10 min video than i ever did in medical school. That's amazing!! Your students are so lucky to have you.

[@drpratapsinghjat5014]

Preethi Tarigopula so true

[@huzaifagill001]

WHICH MEDICAL COLLEGE?

[@n_92alharbi71]

I wonder what medical school you are going to !

[@akshathferrara9029]

nigga what

[@yasharkurdi]

nani?

[@matussurovcak2993]

I just passed my final oral anatomy exam. Feels so good!! Thank you very much for all your videos, they helped me a lot. Mostly those where you use some objects, like in this one, to explain the concept in 3D. Thank you again!

[@shreyanshs1473]

i wish i had teachers like you, id have never skipped a class ever

[@gammagongetya8967]

Totally brilliant. Unlike so many videos, you break it down where one leaves with a real and deep understanding.

[@basseyogar5750]

I can't express my gratitude enough for this videos but pray that God bless you for me 🙏

[@swastidhakal8287]

wowwwww. did i just get what arcuate line is? after a day of headache.. THANK U

[@PreciousAkpama98]

You make Anatomy seem like a fun subject. Thank you for all you 😊

[@justoneyoutuber6925]

This is by far the best, most on point explanation of this topic on youtube. Please keep doing such videos you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much.

[@mr.washingtonsbuddy.8454]

This is the most intuitive way one could go about visualizing more complex spatial structures: playdough, clay and anything of the sort. By doing this you automatically relate the position of everything else to what you're currently building:- you don't need a textbook to tell you what the position of the lateral ventricle's inferior horn is in relation to the cerebral fornix because you've _seen_ it for yourself.

[@ashukaushik9266]

This is simple genius. Loved your passion of teaching. Thank you.

[@mariettevanjaarsveld9954]

This video helped so much, especially the colour papers and clay! Thank you for simplifying the layers/anatomy of the abdominal wall!😃

[@eladalexander5283]

keep doing quick versions before getting into details! that's really helpful when you're having the final anatomy exam in less than a week ( Why am I writing this comment I should go back studying ahhhh). And thank you of course :)
