In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will guide you through the muscles of the thorax and abdomen using a detailed anatomical model. We will explore the layers of the thoracic wall, including the intercostal muscles, diaphragm, and accessory muscles of respiration, explaining their origins, insertions, innervations, and functional roles in breathing. Moving into the abdomen, we will review the rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, transversus abdominis, and other key muscle groups that support core stability, posture, and movement. We will also integrate each muscle group’s anatomical positioning with its biomechanical function, showing how these structures contribute to respiration, trunk movement, protection of internal organs, and the maintenance of intra-abdominal pressure. This model-based demonstration provides a three-dimensional understanding of how the thoracic and abdominal musculature work together in daily activity and clinical contexts.
