peritonaeum

The external inguinal hernia, so called from its commencing in the outer peritonaeal fossa, on the outer side of the epigastric artery, takes a covering from the peritonaeum of this place, and pushes forward into the internal abdominal ring at the point marked P, Plate 32.

It adheres to the external surface of the peritonaeum, and to the internal surface of the transverse muscle, by means of an intervening cellular tissue.

-- The peritonaeum, 2, 3, closes the femoral canal, 12, at the femoral ring, in the same way as this membrane closes the inguinal canal at the internal inguinal ring, 3, Fig. 2, Plate 45.

This fold is formed by the epigastric vessels and the umbilical ligament, which, being tenser and shorter than the peritonaeum, thereby cause this membrane to project.
