AB The  wall  of  the  abdomen  is  composed  of  many  sheet-like  layers  of  fascia,  muscle,  and  aponeuroses,  which  merge  and  change  at  different  segments.  It  is  important  to  understand  how  these  muscle  and  fascial  layers  result  in  the  twisting  movements  of  the  trunk,  as  postural  issues  may  be  signs  of  muscle  weakness.  The  abdominal  wall  is  also  the  clinician's  superficial  view  of  the  abdominal  contents,  and  its  appearance  may  hold  clues  to  intra-abdominal  disorders.  Vascular  distention,  irregular  firmness,  and  localization  of  pain  are  all  important  ways  to  diagnose  disorders  of  the  organ  systems  within  the  abdomen.  When  dissecting,  pay  attention  to  the  route  of  the  vasculature  relative  to  the  surface  anatomy,  as  well  as  major  anatomical  landmarks.
