The answer to this question would be: oblique muscle

Oblique muscle runs at the long axis of the body. There are a few oblique muscles in human such as the external/internal abdominal oblique muscle in the belly that makes the "six-pack" looks. Other would be superior/inferior oblique muscle in the eye that moves the eyeball.
