What Is the Transversus Thoracis?

As the expiratory muscle, the transverse pectoralis muscle is a continuation of the transverse abdominal muscles, and is located on the inner side of the thorax. It fully meets the requirements of the front branch of the body of the Governor Vessel. Straight up, through the center of the umbilicus, through the center of the heart, into the throat, upper lip, ring lip, upper middle of the two eyes, as described in the "Venus of the Governor Vessel goes to the branch side, mostly considered to be in conjunction with Ren Mai, and "Shu · Wuyin Wuwei" reads: "Chongmai and Renmai all originate in the cell ... the ones who float outside will follow the abdomen, will be in the throat, and will not touch the lips."

Transverse pectoralis

The transverse pectoralis muscle is an expiration muscle that is a continuation of the transverse abdominal muscle and is located on the inner side of the thorax.

Transverse pectoralis muscle: musculi transversus thoracis

Location: Located behind the sternum and costal cartilage, it is a continuation of the transverse abdominal muscles.

Starting point : Starting from the xiphoid process and 4 muscle bundles starting from the lower part of the sternum, the fans are inclined upward and outward.

Dead center : Stop at the inner surface of the 2nd to 6th rib cartilage and rib joint.

Function : Dominated by intercostal nerves, pull down ribs when contracted, exhale.

Level: the level in which the thoracic extensor muscles reside: the first level is

The actual comparison found that apart from the origin of the middle cell and the same facial facial route, its veins in the chest and abdomen are very different from those in the veins:

The former walks on the surface (the floating one);

The latter is deep (through the umbilicus, through the heart).

That is, the path of Ren and Du Ermai's ventral branches does not overlap, so that Ren and Du Ermai can separate the yin and yang of the breathing muscles on the chest and abdomen: as the parasternal intercostal muscle as the inspiratory muscle leads in Ren Vein In the same way, the transverse pectoralis muscle also plays an important role in the ventral branch of the vein, one in the surface and one in the inside. The transverse pectoralis muscle is located behind the third to sixth rib cartilage and is a continuation of the transverse abdominal muscles. The transverse pectoralis muscles are all expiratory muscles and are located on the same muscle level, which provides anatomy for the complete operation of the ventral branch of the vein. Strong evidence. ^[1]

The former muscles are the anterior pectoral aspirator muscles (such as parasternal intercostal muscles, pectoralis minor, and sternocleidomastoid muscles), and the meridian operation should use reverse abdominal breathing, so the abdomen can use contractile muscles (diaphragm, abdominal straight Muscle, internal and external oblique muscles); the latter acts on the anterior expiratory muscles of the thorax and abdomen (such as the transverse pectoralis muscles , transverse abdomen muscles, etc., and there are two branches of the expiratory muscles associated with the dorsal and dorsal operation of the veins ). The middle and superficial muscles are compatible with Renmai. In contrast to the Dumai, which are all expiratory muscles and at a deeper level, the Dumai chest-abdominal running route is very coherent. Both sides of the transverse pectoralis muscle descend downward to the middle ribs and exhale. The contraction has reached the main direction as the downward midline, which fully meets the requirements of Xiao Zhoutian Dumai's reverse transport. The function of the transverse pectoralis muscle makes the abdominal branch of Dumai running far-reaching, so as to achieve Rendu's second pulse running, self-cultivation, and physical fitness. The purpose of fitness.
