📚Muscle Monday📚
💥Abdominals💥
📸The four abdominal muscles are called Re**us Abdominis, External Oblique, Internal Oblique, and Transverse Abdominis

The abdominal muscles expand far beyond the “stomach” region. In fact, they form a muscular girdle that reaches around the sides of the thorax to the thoracolumbar aponeurosis, superiorly to the middle ribs and inferiorly to the inguinal ligament. The immense span of these muscles, with its unique overlapping arrangement in varying fibre direction, helps to stabilize the entire abdominal region

The organs of the upper thorax are protected by the rib cage while the viscera of the lower thorax rely on the four abdominal muscles for support and protection. The four abdominal muscles wrap the entire abdomen in vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions, in the same way packing tape is wrapped around the box going for a long journey

This week we are looking at the
💥External Oblique💥

Lateral to the Re**us Abdominis (last weeks post) is the External Oblique. Unlike the round bellies of the Re**us Abdominis, the External Oblique is a broad, superficial muscle best palpated at its attachments to the lower ribs
