Houses and protects major viscera
-assist in breathing (contraction of diaphragm. Relaxation of abdominal muscles)
-changes in abdominal pressure (contraction)
What does the abdominal wall consist of
Partly bone
Mainly muscle
External oblique origin
Outer surfaces of lower 8 ribs.
External oblique insertion
Lateral lip of iliac crest
Linea albr

T7-T12
External oblique function
Compress abdominal contents
H muscles flex trunk, bending trunk to same side
Turning anterior part of abdomen to opposite side 9rotation)
Interal oblique origin
Thoracolumbar fascia
Iliac crest between orgins of external and transversus
Lateral 2/3 of inguinal ligament
Interal oblique insertion
Inferior border of lower 3/4 ribs
