2005 Disscusion
that picture is kind of inapropriate


 * it probably is, I am not sure who put it up. I'll replace it with a diagram some time. PhatRita 12:52, 27 July 2005 (UTC)


 * I put it there - it's not hard to find out who did - just look at the page history. I put all the images there and yes the first image is weak. It was the only PD picture of an actual person's abdomen I could find - and I did spend some time looking. My point with it was, it would be good to have an actual real abdomen on there as opposed to yet another diagram from Gray's anatomy. I was hoping someone at some stage would replace it with a better image. If anyone can get a better image I'd be happy with that. By the same token, if you want to remove, it I'm not bothered.

 * The picture would be more appropriate under navel piercing. Author782 07:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

The Belly in Culture
Shouldn't there be something in this article about the belly in different world cultures, such as the sexual nature of the belly, or belly dancing?

I think there is something wrong with the presentation on how to divide the abdomen into 9 regions: I think only two transverse planes are to be used (mainly either the subcostal or the transpyloric, but not both) with the natural boundaries of the abdomen (diaphragm, abdominal walls, pelvis) providing the outer boundaries of the outer (viewed from the front) abdominal regions?

Surface Markings of the Abdomen outlines the alternate methods, as well as Figure 1220 illustrating one of them (Addison's). John McD. jauntymcd@eastlink.ca   May 23, 2006

8 pack abs?
just wondering if someone could tell me whether 8 pack abs are due to genetics or just a good diet and working out alot because i've heard people say both. p.s is it possible to get a 10 pack? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.33.159 (talk) 16:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

yes it's possible to get a 10 pack 190.43.185.87 (talk) 05:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Muscles
Does anyone think that posterior muscles such as the psoas major/minor, quadratus lumborum and iliacus should be included? Although they aren't really involved in intrabdominal pressure, they still line the cavity • Le  on  01:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Aesthetics
I believe that stomachs as an aesthetic bodypart in culture as suggested above by John McD. should definitely be included, along with belly piercings and the development of abdominal muscles for aesthetics in men. This reads as though someone merely ripped a page out of a medical book and doesn't touch on many issues many people would turn to this resource for information on. 211.30.71.59 05:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Questions: So how many muscles are in the abdomen? is it eight...and if so can someone work hard enough to get a "10 pack"?

6 pack can be seen with a higher bodyfat %
I think this sentence is wrong: "A body fat of around 10% or below with a bodyweight that is not underweight is required to see them."

I have a bodyfat of around 20% and I can see my 6-pack.

In the table at the top it says "This is the most fun of all the muscles." Don't know what that means but I'm taking it out. Richard Brady 81.1.100.214 17:18, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Pulled stomach and lower muscles
can someone tell me about pulled muscles? Thank you and have a wonderful day... Rianon Burnet 21:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Lower and upper abs
Does anyone have any info on this? The rectus abdominis is one muscle and it seems to me that it would be impossible to successfully exercise the lower or upper part independantly of the other. When searching for "lower abs" on google, the first 8 results are about specific lower abs workouts but this page and this page have information that would confirm my expectations. 209.53.143.142 (talk) 16:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

File:T in topless.jpg
This image seems biased. The background should be plain, and the view should be fully frontal. I think the focus here should be on the anatomy of the abdomen, not its sexiness.VR talk  15:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Vice, you are right, the image seems biased, but the angle of the photo has a similar shot angle to the diagram above Grays Anatomy image392.png. It was made with a Nokia cellphone and it was edited on a computer afterwards. The original version has a simple background (the photo was taken in a chamber, a small kitchen more exactly, and that background was inappropriate, it was a summer day and the sunlight was coming from the only light source, the half-opened window, the light had come on horizontal rays) If you want I'll try a new background to it, but please send me a suggestion. I thought many times of a remake of this photo. The article needs a frontal photo. Hope someone will add this frontal photo to the article, hope I'll try a remake myself also a new frontal version with a good camera. I think this article is the best place for this photo, a new photo is needed but i find my photo to be necessary. Hope you won't get me wrong. TudorTulok (talk) 22:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Sentence removed from the main article
There are scientifically 8 abdomenal muscles in a human body of a man. --TudorTulok (talk) 22:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
