The cat's muscle fibers run perpendicular to its internal oblique muscles. The fibers of the external oblique muscles run opposite of the muscles.

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.


Which of the abdominal muscles has its fiber running in an inferomedial direction?

External Obliques


What is the action of the external oblique muscle?

they rotate the ribs and pelvis, they help you breathe and they flex your trunk forward


Do you need total internal refraction to get the fiber optics to work?

Not internal refraction - internal reflection. And yes, that's essential to make fiber optics work.

What is fiber 1 myopATHY?

A myopathy is a neuromuscular disease in which the muscles do not function normally. Fiber one muscles are the slow twitch muscles used in aerobics. However, there are many types of myopathy and you have not really named one but rather a general category.


How do an ant's muscles resemble those of a mammal?

Are longer muscles inherently stronger than shorter muscles?

No, the length of a muscle does not determine its strength. Muscle strength is determined by factors such as muscle fiber size, muscle fiber type, and training.


Why is there a maximal voltage for muscles?

All of the muscles in the muscle fiber have contracted when there is a maximal voltage and there is a maximal voltage to prevent injury to our muscles. Dr. Sayed
