Joints allow a person to talk?
Yes.... the main one would be the joints between your jaw (mandible) and your skull - the temporomandibular joint (or TMJ) for short. You couldn't talk without breathing so joints involved in this will include all the joints between the thoracic spine and the ribs, the ribs and the sternum and the sternum and the clavicles.
What does extraneous stimuli mean?

What are the main functions of obliques is it your heart?
the main function of obliques is to help protect the heart as well as the ribs.
What direction do the muscle fibers of the external oblique run?
The external abdominal obliques are on both sides of your torso. They run diagonally from external surfaces of ribs 5-12 (origin) to the anterior illiac crest and abdominal aponeurosis (insertion).
What is the action of the external obliques?
fiber direction
What muscle is part of the abdominal girdle that forms the external walls?
External obliques
What four muscles help form the abdominal girdle?
External Oblique Internal Oblique Transversus Abdominis REctus Abdominis
Where is the obliques?
Around your rib cage. They are accessory muscles of inspiration and join ribs together diagonally
Which of the abdominal muscles has its fiber running in an inferomedial direction?
External Obliques
Where is the obliques located?
Around your rib cage. They are accessory muscles of inspiration and join ribs together diagonally
Where are the oblique abdominals?

How does the fiber orientation of the external oblique compare to the internal oblique?
Imagine standing and crossing your arms (i.e. so that your right hand touches your left thigh and your left hand touches your right thigh). This would be considered the fiber direction of your External obliques which are the most superficial abdominal muscles. Deep to the external obliques are your internal oblique muscles. Your internal obliques run mostly perpendicular to your external obliques (i.e. opposite direction). The next layer of the abdominal muscles are the transverse abdominals whose fiber direction is parallel (horizontal) to the ground (when standing). Hope this helps.
