Medial umbilical ligament
The Medial Umbilical Ligament is a structure in the human anatomy that is a remnant of the umbilical artery. It is found on the deep surface of the anterior abdominal wall, and is covered by the medial umbilical fold.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The medial umbilical ligament extends from the bladder to the umbilicus, and is the remnant of the umbilical artery after birth. It is usually paired, with one ligament found on either side of the urachus.
Clinical significance[edit | edit source]
The medial umbilical ligament can be used as a landmark in surgical procedures involving the pelvis and lower abdomen. It is also significant in the diagnosis of certain medical conditions, such as inguinal hernias.

This is a very basic example and would need to be expanded upon with more detailed information, more references, and potentially more sections depending on the complexity of the topic. The images used in the infobox would need to be replaced with appropriate images from Wikimedia Commons.
