The rectus, pubio-sternalis or sternopubialis; and the pyramidalis or pubio-sub-umbilicalis, are more limited in their action, and compress the fore-part of the abdomen ; besides having other functions. Lastly, a serous membrane — the peritoneum—lines the abdo-men, and gives a coat to most of the viscera. The mode, in whichits various reflections are made, is singular, but easily intelligiblefrom the accompanying figure. (Fig. 136.) It has neither beginningnor end, constituting, like all the serous membranes, a shut sac, and,in reality, having no viscus within it.
