abdominal external oblique muscle n. A muscle with origin from the fifth to twelfth ribs, with insertion into the anterior lateral lip of the iliac crest, the inguinal ligament, and the anterior layer of the sheath of the rectus muscle of the abdomen, with nerve supply from the ventral branches of the lower thoracic nerves, and whose action diminishes the capacity of the abdomen and draws the chest down.
Acting alone, the external oblique can flex the trunk, side bend the torso toward the same side (i.e., the side of the contracting muscle), and rotate the trunk toward the opposite side. The internal oblique originates from the thoracolumbar fascia, the inguinal ligament, and the anterior iliac crest.The internal oblique also functions to provide spine stability, and it flexes and rotates the trunk toward the same side (table 2.4).he external oblique is the most superficial muscle of the three flat abdominal muscles (the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis).
