It acts with the external oblique muscle of the opposite side to achieve this torsional movement of the trunk. For example, the right internal oblique and the left external oblique contract as the torso flexes and rotates to bring the left shoulder towards the right hip. For this reason, the internal obliques are referred to as "same-side ...
The lateral cutaneous branch ("iliac branch") pierces the internal oblique muscles and the external oblique muscles immediately above the iliac crest. [4] It is distributed to the skin of the gluteal region, behind the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve; the size of this branch bears an inverse proportion to that of the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve.
It is positioned immediately deep to the internal oblique muscle. The transverse abdominal arises as fleshy fibers, from the lateral third of the inguinal ligament , from the anterior three-fourths of the inner lip of the iliac crest , from the inner surfaces of the cartilages of the lower six ribs, interdigitating with the diaphragm , and from ...
Muscles Worked: A plank is a full-body exercise, but specifically, it works your transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis (aka the six-pack), internal and external obliques and scapular (shoulder ...
The external oblique, closest to the surface, extend inferiorly and medially, in the direction of sliding one’s four fingers into pants pockets. Perpendicular to it is the intermediate internal oblique , extending superiorly and medially, the direction the thumbs usually go when the other fingers are in the pants pocket.

Several muscles in the human body may be referred to as an oblique muscle: Abdominal wall Abdominal external oblique muscle; Abdominal internal oblique muscle; Extraocular muscles Inferior oblique muscle; Superior oblique muscle; Oblique muscle of auricle, part of the outer ear
The trochlear nerve is tested by examining the action of its muscle, the superior oblique. When acting on its own this muscle depresses and abducts the eyeball. However, movements of the eye by the extraocular muscles are synergistic (working together). Therefore, the trochlear nerve is tested by asking the patient to look 'down and in' as the ...
