<prompt> All statements concerning the conjoint tendon are true, exceptIt forms pa of posterior wall of inguinal canalIt is the fused pa of aponeurosis of transverses abdomens and internal oblique muscleIt is continuous with inguinal ligamentIt may be pushed forward by direct inguinal hernia  <response>: CONJOINT TENDON:- Falx inguinalisFormation: fusion of lowest aponeurotic fibres of internal oblique and of the transversus muscle. It forms the posterior wall of inguinal canal. Medially: continuous with the anterior wall of rectus sheath.Laterally: free It may be continuous with an inconstant ligamentous band, interfoveolar ligament, which connects lower border of transversus abdominis to the superior ramus of pubis. Conjoint tendon strengthens the anterior abdominal wall at site where it is weakened by the superficial inguinal ring. Reference: BDC 6E
