This allows access to the lower midline of the anterior abdominal wall fascia. These are present in the midline of the neck anterior to the trachea. A narrow strip of protruding tissue along the midline is called the cerebellar vermis. These grow and join in the ventral midline. Medial indicates near the midline, and lateral describes a position away from the midline. The lateral edges of the neural plate touch in the midline and join together. Hip adduction occurs when the femur moves back to the midline. The abdominal aorta lies slightly to the left of the midline of the body. There is one inguinal canal on each side of the midline. These groin muscles adduct the thigh (bring the femur and knee closer to the midline). The cingulate cortex is made up of an area around the midline of the brain. The rest is formed by the pubis, near the midline. "Eso" describes inward or convergent deviations towards the midline. Spindle tori have a ridge located at their midline. Kirkland assumed these formed two vertical rows, one at each side of the rump midline.
