Internal Oblique

The internal oblique is a paired muscle of the abdominal wall that supports the trunk, protects abdominal organs, and contributes to posture and movement. Its fibers run superomedially between the iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia, and inguinal ligament and attach to the lower ribs, linea alba, and pubis; when they contract, they compress abdominal contents, flex the trunk laterally, and rotate it toward the same side. Working with the external oblique, transversus abdominis, and rectus abdominis, the internal oblique stabilizes the spine during movement and assists forced expiration, making it important in biomechanics, respiratory physiology, physical examination, and rehabilitation.

Stress on an Oblique Plane

2024

Understanding stress on an oblique plane under axial loading is pivotal in material mechanics. This analysis offers insight into a material's durability and strength, which is crucial for civil engineering and structural design. Axial loading refers to force application along the material's central axis, causing compression or elongation and leading to normal stress. Normal stress occurs when a force acts perpendicularly to the material's area, resulting in compressive or tensile stress. When...

Source: Laboratory of Dr. B. Jill Venton - University of Virginia The goal of many chemical analyses is a quantitative analysis, where the amount of a substance in a sample is determined. In order to accurately calculate the concentration of an unknown from a sample, careful sample preparation is key. Every time a sample is handled or transferred, some of the sample can be lost. There are strategies however, for minimizing sample loss. There are also strategies for coping with sample loss and...

Internal Energy

2020

The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial. Although the values for Ufinal and Uinitial cannot be determined for a system, the first law of thermodynamics only...
