The
Abdominals
are composed of several muscles: the Rectus
Abdominus, Transverse Abdominus, and
the External and
Internal Obliques.
The Abdominal
muscles sit on the front and sides of the lower
half of the torso, originating along the rib cage
and attaching along the pelvis. The
Rectus Abdominus muscle is commonly known
as the "six-pack" muscle of the abs.
Thin bands of connective tissue give it that appearance. The
Transverse Abdominus (also known as the
Transversus) is the deepest muscle of the core
(meaning it's underneath all the other muscles).
It wraps laterally around the abdominal area. The
fibers of External and Internal Obliques
run diagonally on the body, allowing for angled
movement.
