Uberon Homology note : Behind the thorax, the lateral group (of muscles in reptiles and mammals) remains
essentially as for amphibians. (It breaks into three sheet-like layers: external oblique
muscle, the internal oblique, and the transversus). More anteriorly, however, the
ribs, now enlarged, penetrate and alter this group of muscles. The transversus is
excluded from the thorax and the external and internal obliques become, respectively,
the external and internal intercostal muscles, which contribute to the new function
of ventilation of the lungs.[well established][VHOG];
