Origin, insertion, and action of internal abdominal oblique |
Origin: anterior two thirds of iliac crest, lateral half of inguinal ligament, and thoracolumbar fascia Insertion: linea Alba, costal cartilage of last three or four ribs Action: compresses and supports abdominal viscera, flexes and rotates trunk. |
