External Intercostals

O: Inferior border of rib above
I: Superior border of rib below
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Contraction creates inhalation by elevating ribs; relaxation depresses the ribs resulting in exhalation

Internal Intercostals

O: Superior border of rib below
I: Inferior border of rib below
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Contraction draws adjacent ribs together during forced exhalation

External Oblique

O: Inferior 8 ribs
I: Iliac crest and linea alba
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Compress abdomen and flex vertebral column, laterally flex and rotate vertebral column to the opposite side

4
card image

Internal Oblique

O: Iliac crest, inguinal ligament, and thoracolumbar fascia
I: Cartilage of last four ribs and linea alba
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Compress abdomen and flex vertebral column, laterally flex and rotate vertebral column to the same side

5
card image

Transverse Abdominus

O: Iliac crest, inguinal ligament, lumbar fascia, and cartilages of inferior six ribs
I: Xiphoid process, linea alba, and pubis
N: Intercostal nerves
A Compress abdomen

Rectus Abdominus

O: Pubic crest and pubic symphysis
I: Cartilage of 5th-7th ribs and xiphoid process
N: Intercostal nerves
A: Flexes trunk and compresses abdomen

7
card image

Quadratus Lumborum

O: Iliolumbar ligament and iliac crest
I: Inferior border of 12th rib and transverse processes of L1-L4
N: T12 thoracic nerve and nerves of L1-L3
A: Pull the ribs inferior during forces exhalation, extend cerebral column, laterally flex vertebral column

8
card image

Diaphragm

O: Xiphoid process, cartilage of the lower 6 ribs, and lumbar vertebrae
I: Central tendon
N: Phrenic nerve
A: Contraction causes it to flatten and increase vertical dimension of thoracic cavity (inhalation); Relaxation causes it to move superiorly and decrease the vertical dimension of thoracic cavity (exhalation)

card image

Trapezius

O: Superior nuchal line of occipital bone, ligamentum nuchae, andspines of C7 and T1-T12
I: Clavicle, acromion, and spine of scapula
N: Spinal accessory nerve
A: Upper trap: Elevate scapula, upwardly rotate the scapula and extend head.

Middle trap: Retract scapula.

Lower trap: Depress scapula and upwardly rotate the scapula

Latissimus Dorsi

O: Spines of T7-T12 and L1-L5, sacrum and ilium, inferior 4 ribs
I: Bicipital groove
N: Thoracodorsal nerve
A: Extends, adducts, and internally rotates the arm at the shoulder joint; draws arm inferiorly and posteriorly

11
