Question

What specific spinal nerve branch controls the movement of rectus abdominis

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be-ventral ramus

Explanation:

Rectus abdominis is a skeletal muscle found in the front part of the body which begins from the sternum and ends at the pubic zone.

Rectus abdominis is also known as "Abs" which viewed externally appears to be six, eight or ten in number.

These muscles are innervated by the thoracoabdominal nerves which carry and transmit signals to CNS and to the muscles back. The main spinal nerve which controls the movement of Abs is known as the "ventral ramus".

Thus, ventral ramus is the correct answer.
