The pyramidalis muscle, a small triangular muscle located in the lower abdomen, is absent in about 20% of the population due to genetic variation and developmental factors. Its presence or absence does not significantly impact overall abdominal function, as the external oblique and rectus abdominis muscles perform similar roles. Evolutionary adaptations may also play a role, leading to its redundancy in some individuals. Thus, the absence of the pyramidalis is a normal anatomical variation.

Why is the psoas minor muscle absent in some people?

Psoas Minor is a very small muscle that runs right beside Psoas Major and is almost indistinguishable from its big brother which is why it is often not thought to be present. However if it truly is absent then this is often because of general variation from person to person, this works because not having this small muscle does not impede life or mating in any great way. So according to the theaory evolution dictates people will still continue with the adaptation because it does not hinder the production of children. Yes, in some people it can be absent. People tend to vary, and not everyone has the exact same number of muscles and bones. For example: some people even have six fingers or toes.

Which burns more fat a lean muscle or bulk muscle?

Answer There's no such thing. Muscle is muscle. There are no "lean" muscles or "bulky"muscles. Some people have a greater muscle mass, some have less muscle mass- but that mass is muscle. A pound of muscle is going to require energy to stay around. If you have a greater muscle mass, you'll have a greater metabolism. He's right you know. This is really splitting hairs!


What is the most superficial muscle of the pectoral region which is not found in humans?

The most superficial muscle of the pectoral region not found in humans is the "pectoralis major" muscle's variant called the "pectoralis quartus." This muscle is present in some other primates and serves a similar function as the pectoralis major but is absent in human anatomy. The pectoralis quartus can vary in its presence among different species, highlighting evolutionary differences in muscular development.

What paralyzes muscles and make them floppy and reflexes are decreased or absent?

Botulinum toxin is able to paralyze muscles by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This results in muscle weakness and a floppy appearance. Reflexes may be decreased or absent due to the lack of communication between the nerves and muscles.
