Abdominal wall layers of the inguinal canal, semi 3D exploded view, no labels

This image shows the abdominal wall layers forming the inguinal canal in a semi-3D exploded view. It can be seen how the inguinal canal traverses through and is formed by the layers of the abdominal wall. The internal and external inguinal ring can be seen, as well as the structures passing through the inguinal canal and froming the funiculus in the male. The space inferior of the overarching internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle aponeuroses, through which a medial inguinal hernia can pass, is drawn exaggeratedly large to make clear the route of this hernia.  This image originates from the e-learning lesson 'CASK inguinal area for students' at www.caskanatomy.info/inguinalarea created by the dept. of Anatomy and Embrylogy of Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands.
