Document Summary

Stomach, kidneys, intestines, liver, gall bladder, pelvic organs (bladder, uterus) Abdominal contents are only protected by abdominal wall, no ribs. Joint fuses with symphyseal surface allows baby to pass more easily not fused joint. Ball of hip joint goes into acetabulum. Also laterally bending head (like confused head tilt) Lateral flexes head to the same side (ispilateral) Functions of abdominal wall muscles o o o: support for the anterolateral wall abdominal wall, flexion and rotation of the trunk and laterally bend. 3. compresses abdominal contents allow contents of abdominal cavity to be compressed during inhalation lifting diaphragm up exhalation too if you exert yourself (yelling, coughing, defecation, etc. ) Hold breath and bear down using abdominal muscles. Insertion: aponeurosis - flattened sheet covering surface of abdominal wall part formed by tendon of external oblique iliac crest pubic tubercule. Lumbar fascia: posterior origin, fibers on the iliac crest, generally fibers run superior and medial, opposite to external oblique.
