internal abdominal oblique muscle (s) (noun), internal abdominal oblique muscles (pl)
1. A small, thin, deep muscle of the abdomen which is a diagonally arranged abdominal muscle on either side of the torso: The internal abdominal oblique muscle runs diagonally opposite and underneath the external oblique.

The internal abdominal oblique muscle has a quadrilateral form originating from the hip bone, the crest of the ilium, and extending to the cartilage of the lower ribs which are the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth ribs.

It is innervated by the lower thoracic nerves and supplies the intercostal and lumbar arteries and this muscle protects a weak point in the abdominal wall and works with the external oblique to help twist the torso.

2. One of a pair of anterolateral muscles of the abdomen, which are in front and away from the midline, lying under the external oblique muscle in the lateral and ventral part of the abdominal wall; The internal abdominal oblique muscle is smaller and thinner than the external oblique muscle and it functions to compress the abdominal contents and assists in micturition, defecation, emesis, parturition, and forced expiration.

Both muscles acting together serve to flex the vertebral column, drawing the costal cartilages toward the pubis. One side acting alone bends the vertebral column laterally and rotates it, drawing the shoulder of the opposite side downward.

internal combustion engine
An engine that burns fuel inside closed metal cylinders.

External combustion engines; such as, steam engines, produce power less efficiently by burning fuel in an external chamber to heat a liquid or gas, which then moves a piston or a turbine.

Each piston in an internal combustion engine makes four "strokes"

    The four-stroke cycles include explosions inside the engine's cylinders, on top of the pistons, and the blast force pushes the pistons down; then, the crankshaft swings around and pushes the pistons back up for the next stage in the cycle. The cycles for one piston are described in the following sequences:

  1. The piston moves down, sucking in air through the inlet valve while a tiny squirt of gasoline is injected into the air.
  2. The inlet valve at the top closes, trapping everything inside and then the piston moves up, squeezing the air and gasoline tightly together.
  3. When the piston reaches the top, a carefully timed spark sets fire to the gasoline; as the gas burns explosively, forcing the piston back down.
  4. Finally, the piston moves back up and pushes the burned gases out of the outlet valve which leave the car through the exhaust.
