The posterior scalene inserts here.

The Second Rib. 

"Play my PS2 till 1AM."

These intercostals depress the ribcage to magnify exhalation.

The Internal Intercostals. 

"INternals cause EXhalation. EXternals cause INhalation."

100

These two groups of muscles make up the larger paraspinal muscle group.

The Transversospinalis and the Erector Spinae. 

100

You know you have reached the deepest layer of the transversospinalis muscle group when you reach these muscles. 

The Rotatores.

*I love spaghetti with RED MEAT SAUCE.*

(Deep to Superficial)  

100

Your book lists this as the "hip hike" muscle.

Quadratus Lumborum. 

Quadratus = square shaped

Lumborum = Lumbar.

200

This is the origin of Serratus Posterior Inferior. 

The Spinous Processes of T11 - L2.

The rectus sheath covers these four muscles.

The Rectus Abdominis, The Obliques, and the Transverse Abdominis. 

200

These groups of muscles combine to form the erector spinae group.

The Illiocostalis, The Longissimus, and the Spinalis. 

*I LOVE SPAGHETTI with red meat sauce.*

(Lateral to Medial.)  

200

Your book lists this as the "six pack" muscle. 

Rectus Abdominis.


200

This is the insertion of the Serratus Posterior Inferior. 

Ribs 9 - 12. 

"Serra Posts on Instagram, all-you-can-eat Ribs from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm."

300

This is the most superficial muscle of the transversospinalis group.

The Semispinalis.

*I love spaghetti with RED MEAT SAUCE.*

(Deep to Superficial)  

300

Call on this "Sarah", along with the intercostals, to depress the ribcage during exhalation. 

The Serratus Posterior Inferior. 

300

This muscle's appearance is unique because it includes tendinous intersections throughout the muscle belly. 

The Rectus Abdominis. 

300

These intercostals perform elevation of the ribcage to maximize space during inhalation.

The External Intercostals. 

"Externals INhale. INternals EXhale." 

300

This is the intermediate muscle in the transversospinalis muscle group. 

The Multifidus. 

*I love spaghetti with RED MEAT SAUCE.*

(Deep to Superficial)  

400

The abdominal diaphragm performs these two functions during inhalation. One in the chest cavity. The other in the abdominal cavity. 

Increase Thoracic Cavity Volume and Increase Intraabdominal Pressure. 

400

The "white line" between the left and right rectus abdominis muscles.

Linea Alba. 

400

The diaphragm muscle inserts at this tendon. 

The Central Tendon. 

400

The obliques perform this action, regardless of how deep they live.

Rotation of the Vertebral Column. 


Rotation of the Trunk. 

400

This is the primary muscle of inhalation in the body. 

The Diaphragm. 

500
The umbrella term for the rectus capitis and oblique capitis muscles. 

The Suboccipitials. 

Sub = Deep / Beneath

These muscle groups make up the transversospinalis group of the back. 

The Rotatores, The Multifidus, and The Semispinalis.

(Deep to Superficial)  

500

When their powers combine, the erector spinae group perform this action.

Extension of the Vertebral Column. 

500

This is the origin of the quadratus lumborum muscle.

The Posterior Illiac Crest.

Quadratus = square shaped

Lumborum = Lumbar.
