Fresh tissue dissection. Identify the external abdominl oblique m. (1), the rectus abdominis m. (2, covered by fascia), and the sartorius m. (3). The last of the series of lateral cutaneous nerves (arrows) is named lateral cutaneous femoral n. (4) because it also supplies the lateral thigh.

Notice the external pudendal vessels (5) emerging along with a vaginal process (6) from the superficial inguinal ring (7). At the superficial inguinal lymph node (8), external pudendal vessels bifurcate into a caudal superficial epigastric a. (9) and a cranial labial a. (10) to the vulva.
