Muscle
External Oblique
This is the large muscle constituting the outermost
layer of the abdominal wall.
Internal Oblique
It is a short muscle lying beneath the more dorsal
portion of the external oblique. Its fibers are directed
obliquely downward and forward, and are continued
by a very broad aponeurosis.
Transverse Abdominis
Its fibers are directed ventrally and slightly
posteriorly.
