The hydropathic encyclopedia : a system of hydropathy and hygiene in eight parts ..designed as a guide to families and students, and a text-book for physicians . ament is that part of the aponeu-rosis inserted into the pectineal line. The linea alba is a white tendi-nous slip extending along the middle of the abdomen from the ensiformcartilage to the os pubis. Externally, on each side of it, are twocurved lines, extending from the sides of the chest to the pubis, calledthe linea semilunares; these lines are connected with the linea albaby several cross lines, usually three or four in number, called linetrtransversa. Just above the crest of the pubis is a triangular opening,formed by the separation of the fibres of the aponeurosis, called thoexternal abdominal ring. Through this ring passes the spermatic cordin the male, and the round ligament of the uterus in the female;both are invested in their passage ly a thin fascia derived from theedges of the ring, called , or spernatic fascia. In ingui-nal hernia the pouch, in projecting through th:s opening, receives anadditional covering from this spermatic fascia. MYOLOGY. 107 Fig. MUSCLES OF THE TRUNTC.
