external oblique internal oblique transverse abdominis rectus abdominis

Question 39

external oblique

Answer 39

superficial lateral muscles

Question 40

internal oblique

Answer 40

middle lateral muscle (perpendicular to external oblique)

Question 41

transverse abdominis

Answer 41

deep lateral muscle directed horizontally

Question 42

rectus abdominis

Answer 42

anterior muscle connecting sternum to public bone action: flexes vertebral column, compresses abdominal wall attachments: superior pubis to xiphoid process and ribs middle ribs

Question 43

external oblique

Answer 43

unilateral action: lateral flexion and rotation of the vertebral column bilateral action: flexes vertebral column, compresses abdominal wall

Question 44

transverse abdominus

Answer 44

compresses abdominal wall
