Primarily quadratus lumborum, unilateral contraction of spinalis muscles (you can feel these contract in your lower-mid back on the side to which you're bending against resistance) and, to a lesser extent, oblique muscles.

What spinal curvature would happen if your torso got thrown into a lateral flexxion?
What spinal curvature will result when you throw your torso into lateral flexion?
What is the definition of lateral flexion?
Lateral flexion usually refers to the spine, or vertebral column. You can laterally flex your head, neck, or your torso (back). =answer= Lateral direction is away from the midline of the body (an imaginary line from the middle of your node to your belly button). Flexion is the opposite to extension where the angle between anterior surfaces is decreased (as you being then closer together by 'bending') - except for the knee where the opposite is true. Lateral flexion is therefore a combination of there two movements.
Is your little toe lateral to your torso?
The little toe is lateral to the foot. It is distal to the torso. Lateral means to the side.

Lateral, means to the side, so I would think that the arm is on the side of the torso (body).
What is the muscle in your lower torso?
Your abdomen muscles are included in the lower torso as well as your obliques.
What is difference between torsional rigidity and lateral rigidity?
The torsional rigidity comes from the torso. The lateral rigidity would come from the arms and the legs becoming stiff.
Where is the trunk muscle found?

What does the oblique muscular layer of stomach do?
The obliques function to pull the chest downwards and compress the abdominal wall. It also has some actions in both flexion and rotation of the vertebral column. The obliques contracting on one side can create lateral flexion on that side.
How should I break up the muscle groups I exercise?
Upper and lower legs and torso are good groups to work.
What primary muscle is used in a chin up?
Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi). This is what helps to give that "V" - shape in the torso area. (along with slimming down the torso area, of course) The secondary muscle group would be the biceps. Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.
