Show Answer
Correct Answer – C
- Inguinal ligament (Poupart’s ligament) is the folded lower border of external oblique aponeurosis
- Lacunar ligament (Gimbernats ligament) is the crescent shaped expansion from the medial end of inguinal ligament attached to pectineal line of pubis.
- Pectineal ligament (Cooper’s ligament) is strong fibrous band extending laterally from the lacunar ligament along pectineal line of pubis. Similar to lacunar ligament, it is made of external oblique aponeurosis.
- Reflected part of inguinal ligament extends from the lateral crus of superficial inguinal ring formed by inguinal ligament upwards to linea alba. It forms the posterior wall of inguinal canal.
- Conjoint tendon (falx inguinalis) is formed by the aponeuroses of internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle and is attached to pubic crest.
