Muscle is contractile tissue encountered in the abdominal wall during open surgical approaches, relevant to dissection and layered anatomy simulation. In that wall the named layers are the rectus abdominis at the midline and the external oblique lateral to it, over the deeper obliques. Cardiac tissue, the striated branched muscle of the heart, folds in here as well.
