以下は 「 船戸和也のHP 」の解説の一部となる。
「 断面が楕円形のこの筋の停止腱から分かれた線維は、正中線を越え、白線の尾側への続きとして恥骨結合から陰茎(陰核)の背側面に向かう陰茎(陰核)提靱帯に加わる。腹直筋が強く働くのは背臥位から状態を起こすとき、ボートを漕ぐときなどである。腹筋の発達した人では腱画の位置が皮膚の上からくぼんで見える。 」

 The rectus abdominis muscle, also known as the "abdominal  muscle", is a paired muscle running vertically on each side of  the anterior wall of the human abdomen, as well as that of some other mammals.  There are two parallel muscles, separated by a midline band of connective tissue called the linea alba.  It extends from the pubic symphysis, pubic crest and pubic tubercle inferiorly, to the xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs V to VII  superiorly. The proximal attachments  are the pubic crest and the pubic symphysis. It attaches distally at the costal  cartilages of ribs 5-7 and the xiphoid process of the sternum.
             The rectus abdominis muscle is contained in the rectus sheath, which consists of the aponeuroses of the lateral abdominal  muscles. Bands of connective tissue called the tendinous  intersections traverse the rectus abdominis, which separates  this parallel muscle into distinct muscle bellies. The outer, most lateral  line, defining the "abs" is the linea semilunaris. In the abdomens of people  with low body fat, these muscle bellies can be viewed externally and are  commonly referred to as "four", "six", "eight",  or "ten packs", depending on how many are visible; although,  six is the most common.

 The rectus abdominis is a long flat muscle, which extends along the whole  length of the front of the abdomen, and is separated from its fellow of the  opposite side by the linea alba.  Tendinous intersections (intersectiones tendineae) further subdivide each  rectus abdominis muscle into a series of smaller muscle bellies. Tensing of the  rectus abdominis causes the muscle to expand between each tendinous  intersection.[3] 
             The upper portion, attached principally to the cartilage of the fifth rib,  usually has some fibers of insertion into the anterior extremity of the rib  itself.
            【 Size 】
             It is typically around 10 mm thick.[4] Although, some athletes  can have a rectus up to 20 mm thick.[5] Typical volume is around  300 cm³ in non-active individuals and 500 cm³ in athletes.[6] 
            【 Blood supply 】
             The rectus abdominis has many sources of arterial blood supply.  Classification of the vascular anatomy of muscles: First, the inferior  epigastric artery and vein (or veins) run superiorly on the  posterior surface of the rectus abdominis, enter the rectus fascia at the arcuate  line, and serve the lower part of the muscle. Second, the superior  epigastric artery, a terminal branch of the internal thoracic  artery, supplies blood to the upper portion. Finally, numerous small  segmental contributions come from the lower six intercostal arteries as  well.

            【 Nerve supply 】
             The muscles are innervated by thoraco-abdominal  nerves, these are continuations of the T7-T11 intercostal nerves and  pierce the anterior layer of the rectus sheath. Sensory Variation supply is from the  7-12 thoracic nerves
            【 Variation 】
             The sternalis muscle may be a variant form of  the pectoralis major or the rectus abdominis. Some fibers are occasionally  connected with the costoxiphoid  ligaments, and the side of the xiphoid process.
【 Function 】
 The rectus abdominis is an  important postural muscle.  It is responsible for flexing the lumbar spine, as when doing a so-called "crunch" sit up. The rib cage is brought  up to where the pelvis is when the  pelvis is fixed, or the pelvis can be brought towards the rib cage (posterior  pelvic tilt) when the rib cage is fixed, such as in a leg-hip raise. The two  can also be brought together simultaneously when neither is fixed in space.
             The rectus abdominis assists with breathing and plays an important role  in respiration when  forcefully exhaling, as seen after exercise as well as in conditions where  exhalation is difficult such as emphysema. It also helps in keeping the  internal organs intact and in creating intra-abdominal pressure, such as when  exercising or lifting heavy weights, during forceful defecation or parturition  (childbirth).
