Muscle Transverse. It extends between the ribs and the pelvis wrapping around the trunk from front to back. The transverse abdominis is the deepest abdominal muscle extending across the abdomen in a horizontal direction.
The point of this direct transverse abdominis exercise is to fire the transverse abdominis without firing the rectus abdominis muscle. It extends between the ribs and the pelvis wrapping around the trunk from front to back. This occurs most frequently in the lower cervical and upper lumbar regions.
Transverse section is a cut made in a plane that is made across the body of an animal a plant an organ or a tissue.
The longitudinal section of a skeletal muscle will show the muscle fibres with their important regions which makes it very easy to understand the mechanism of muscle contraction and relaxation. Note also the the cytoplasm of the muscle cells has a stippled punctate appearance which is due to the bundling of thick and thin filaments into myofibrils as mentioned above. The transverse abdominis belongs to the following muscle groups. In response to stimulation of muscle calcium channels in t-tubules open and allow calcium to flow down its electro-chemical gradient into cell.
