The Abdominal Muscle Group
The abdominal muscles - aka the ab muscles - are a group of 6 muscles - the rectus abdominus, the lateral oblique abdominals and the transverse abdominal that protect you from back and help your body posture. What are the abdominal muscles, what do they do and where are they located? This abdominal anatomy lesson will explain the 6 abdominal muscles from the transverse abdominus, to the obliques to the rectus abdominus.

The purpose of the skeleton is to protect organs, provide support and balance and to provide a place for muscles to attach, thereby powering the body in movement. Fitting for Halloween, get the skeleton out of the closet and let's examine the bones.
