Content: The vertical muscles lie in the anterior median region, one on each side of the anterior midline, and are enclosed in the aponeuroses of the flat muscles. Lateral wall: The upper part of each lateral wall between the ribs and the iliac crest (also called flank) is formed by three flat muscles. The lower part of each lateral wall is formed by the ilium of hip bone covered internally by the iliacus muscle. Posterior wall: It is formed by the vertebral column, muscles attached to it (diaphragm, psoas major, and quadratus lumborum), and thoraco-lumbar fascia. Below this, it is formed by the posterior part of ilium and iliacus muscle covering it. Floor: It is absent inferiorly as the abdominal cavity communicates with the pelvic cavity at the pelvic brim. The abdomen and pelvic cavities are lined by a thin serous membrane called peritoneum.
