Name the origin, insertion, and action of the External obliques
O: Ribs 5-12
I: Iliac crest, inguinal ligament, linea alba, pubic tubercle
A: Bilaterally → anterior flexion of the trunk and compression of the abdomen
Unilaterally → lateral flexion of the trunk and rotation to the opposite side

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Internal obliques
O: Iliac crest, inguinal ligament, thoracolumbar fascia
I: Ribs 10-12, pectineal line, linea alba, and abdominal aponeurosis (fuses with external oblique to become the rectus sheath)
A: Bilaterally → anterior flexion of the trunk and compression of the abdomen
Unilaterally → lateral flexion of the trunk and rotation to the same side

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Transverse abdominis
O: Iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia, costal cartilage of ribs 7-12
I: Abdominal aponeurosis (and other midline structures)
A: Compression and tension of abdominal wall

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Rectus abdominis
O: Pubic crest, tubercle, and symphysis
I: Costal cartilages 5-7, xiphoid process
A: Flexion of the trunk

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Quadratus lumborum
O: Iliac crest
I: Transverse processes L1-L5; rib 12
A: Bilaterally → extension of the trunk - but likely primarily contributes to stability of the lumbar spine
Unilaterally → lateral flexion

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Puborectalis (part of levator ani group)
O: Anteriorly, from the pubic symphysis
I: Posteriorly, encircling the anorectal junction (integrating in part with the external butthole)
A: Inhibits deification

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Pubococcygeus (part of levator ani group)
O: Pubic bone (lateral to the origin of the puborectalis)
I: Coccyx
A: Control urine flow; contract during orgasm

Name the origin, insertion, and action of the Iliococcygeus (part of levator ani group)
O: Pubic bone (lateral to the origin of puborectalis)
I: Coccyx
A: Control urine flow; contract during orgasm
