The external oblique muscle in humans and pigs serves a similar function, primarily aiding in the rotation and lateral flexion of the torso. However, the pig's external oblique is generally more developed due to its role in supporting the animal's larger body mass and facilitating movement. Additionally, the orientation and attachment points of the muscle fibers may vary slightly between species, reflecting differences in anatomy and locomotion. Overall, while the basic function is conserved, adaptations exist to meet the specific needs of each species.

How do the abdominal muscles in a cat compare with those in the human in terms of relative position?
The external abdominal oblique is a broad, superficial muscle on the ventral abdomen.
What part of abdominal girdle forms external lateral walls of abdomen?
The external oblique muscles form the external lateral walls of the abdomen. These muscles run diagonally down and towards the midline of the body, aiding in movements like trunk flexion and rotation.
What muscles are incised from superficial to deep for an appendectomy?
External oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis
What is the difference in function between the internal and external oblique muscles?
The internal oblique muscles help with trunk rotation and bending, while the external oblique muscles assist with trunk flexion and rotation.
What does the external oblique do?
The function of the external oblique is to pull the chest downward and compress the abdominal cavity. In other words, it helps you bend over.
