Muscles of the abdominal wall

This tutorial explores the anatomy and function of the abdominal wall muscles, including the anterolateral and posterior groups. It covers the external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, and pyramidalis muscles, as well as the quadratus lumborum, psoas major, psoas minor, and iliacus. The video also discusses the clinical implications of these muscles, such as umbilical hernias, and provides a mnemonic for memorizing the anterolateral muscles.

Identify the three flat muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall.

What is the function of the transversus abdominis muscle?

What is a hernia, and how does it relate to the abdominal wall?

Discuss the clinical implications of umbilical hernias.
