relies upon muscles to increase the dimensions of the thoracic cavity

A

inhalation

20

A

Surrounds Rectus abdominis

28
Q

External Oblique
Location
Action

A

Location - Lateral and anterior superficial portions of abdominal cavity/forms inguinal ligament
(down and in)

Location - Immediately deep to external oblique (up and in)

Action - contract and compress abdomen, flexes the vertebral column and lateral trunk flexion and/or trunk rotation

31
Q

Transverse Abdominis
Location
Action

A

Location - immediately deep to the internal obliques (parallel to ground)

Action - Compress abdominal wall, forces exhalation

32
