Answer:
External and internal abdominal obliques, transverse abdominal, and rectus abdominis
Explanation:
The abdominal wall compression involves the action of four muscles:
- External abdominal obliques
- Internal abdominal obliques
- Transverse abdominal
- Rectus abdominis
- The external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominis are the components of the lateral abdominal wall and the rectus abdominis is located medially.
- The rectus abdominis muscle helps in stabilizing side bending and supports the trunk.
- The abdominal obliques are involved in the rotation of the torso and bending along with the compression of the abdomen.
- The transverse abdominal helps in respiration.
- Besides there normal and routine functions all these muscles work together in abdominal compression.
