The transversus abdominis muscle , also known as the transverse abdominus , transversalis muscle and transverse abdominal muscle , is a muscle layer of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall which is deep to (layered below) the internal oblique muscle . It is thought to be a major muscle of the functional core of the human body, although some argue that due to its small cross-sectional area, it cannot generate the forces required to be a prime core stabilizer.
