external oblique

The external oblique is situated on the lateral and anterior parts of the abdomen.

Just deep to the external oblique is the internal oblique muscle.

The abdominal external oblique muscle attaches to the iliac crest.

There is a slight indication of the external oblique bulging over the iliac crest.

It is derived from the aponeurosis of the abdominal external oblique muscle.

The internal obliques lie under the external obliques.

The incision is extended down through the fat until the external oblique fascia is encountered.

The aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle forms the inguinal ligament.

It acts with the external oblique muscle of the opposite side to achieve this torsional movement of the trunk.

They are, from the outside to the inside: external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominus.

By exercising the internal and external obliques the stomach can be flattened while the waist line can be reduced.

Closest to the surface are the internal and external obliques, which turn the trunk and provide the body with rotation and lateral movement.

The stomach muscles are made up of several muscle groups, the most important being the rectus abdominis and the external oblique.

For the abdominal oblique muscle, see Abdominal external oblique muscle.

The external obliques are situated either side of the rectus abdominis, and run diagonally from top to bottom.

It is found deep to the Camper Fascia and superficial to the External Oblique muscle.

The external obliques are more superficial and they are also involved in rotation and lateral flexion of the spine.

It has for its borders the external oblique, pectoralis muscles, and the latissimus dorsi.

Therefore, the external oblique aponeurosis is split along the line of its fibers, as is the internal oblique muscle.

The tendonous sheath extending from the external obliques cover the rectus abdominus.

The rhomboids, serratus anterior, external obliques, and internal obliques are involved in the serape effect.

This aponeurosis formed from fibres from either side of the external oblique decussates at the linea alba.

The external oblique functions to pull the chest downwards and compress the abdominal cavity, which increases the intra-abdominal pressure as in a valsalva maneuver.

The rectus abdominis is simultaneously lengthened in this action, along with the external obliques and latissimus dorsi.

It affords attachment to the inguinal falx, and to the abdominal external oblique muscle and pyramidalis muscle.
