A
  • O: Crest of Pubis and pubic tubercle, pubic symphysis
  • I: Cartilages of the 5-7 ribs and xiphoid process
  • A: Flexes vertebral column, compresses abdomen
  • N: Spinal nerves T7-12
24
Q

What forms the washboard effect in the abdominals?

A

*The transverse fibrous intersections of the rectus abdominis

25
Q

What are the OIAN of the Transverse Abdominis?

A
  • O: Lateral 3rd of inguinal ligament, inner lip of iliac crest, inner cartilage of the lower six ribs, thoracolumbar fascia, and interdigitating with diaphragm
  • I: Ends in aponeruosis, front and back of rectus sheath to linea alba and pubis
  • N: Lower sic thoracic n, first lumbar n, iliohypgastic and ilioinguinal n.

Q

What are the erector spinae divided between?

A

*Cervicis, thoracic, and lumborum

27
Q

How does the pump handle action work and what does it effect?
