The aponeurosis of the abdominal external oblique muscle is a thin but strong membranous structure, the fibers of which are directed downward and medially.. It is joined with that of the opposite muscle along the middle line, and covers the whole of the front of the abdomen; above, it is covered by and gives origin to the lower fibers of the pectoralis major; below, its fibers are closely ...

(T7-T11), subcostal n. (T12), iliohypogastric n. (L1) and ilioinguinal n. (L1) Actions: Bilateral: Compresses abdomen Unilateral: Ipsilateral ...
The pelvic floor includes muscles, both skeletal and smooth, ligaments and fascia. [3] and separates between the pelvic cavity from above, and the perineum from below. [citation needed] It is formed by the levator ani muscle and coccygeus muscle, and associated connective tissue. [4]
The pubofemoral ligament (or pubocapsular ligament [citation needed]) is a ligament which reinforces the inferior and anterior portions of the joint capsule of the hip joint. The ligament attaches superiorly at the superior ramus of pubis, and the iliopubic eminence ; it attaches inferiorly at the inferior portion of the intertrochanteric line ...

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.It also performs ipsilateral (same side) side-bending and contralateral (opposite side) rotation: the right external oblique would side-bend to the right and rotate to the left, and vice versa.
The linea alba (Latin for: white line) is a strong fibrous midline structure [1] of the anterior abdominal wall [2] situated between the two recti abdominis muscles (one on either side).
