Chapter 6, Problem 25SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The muscle arrangement of the abdominal muscles, with which they play the protective role of the abdominal viscera along with flexing the spine and compressing the abdominal contents.
Introduction:
The abdominal muscles form a part of the anterior portion of the abdomen, which consists of fourmuscles. These muscles are internal oblique, rectus abdominis, external oblique, and transversus abdominis.
