The ligament extends inferolaterally from its medial attachment, [1] radiating laterally. [2] It represents the thickened inferior border of anterior and middle layers of thoracolumbar fascia . Inferiorly, the ligament is partially continuous with the lumbosacral ligament [ 1 ] (which may be considered an inferior subdivision of the iliolumbar ...
The orbital contents comprise the eye, the orbital and retrobulbar fascia, extraocular muscles, cranial nerves II, III, IV, V, and VI, blood vessels, fat, the lacrimal gland with its sac and duct, the eyelids, medial and lateral palpebral ligaments, cheek ligaments, the suspensory ligament, septum, ciliary ganglion and short ciliary nerves.
The zonule of Zinn (/ ˈ t s ɪ n /) (Zinn's membrane, ciliary zonule) (after Johann Gottfried Zinn) is a ring of fibrous strands forming a zonule (little band) that connects the ciliary body with the crystalline lens of the eye. [1] The Zonular fibers a viscoelastic cables, although their component microfibrils are stiff structures.
This ligament is responsible for maintaining and supporting the position of the eyeball in its normal upward and forward position within the orbit, and prevents downward displacement of the eyeball. [2] It can be considered a part of the bulbar sheath. [3] It is named for Charles Barrett Lockwood.
The lens is located towards the front part of the vertebrate eye, called the anterior segment, which includes the cornea and iris positioned in front of the lens. The lens is held in place by the suspensory ligaments (Zonule of Zinn), [1] attaching the lens at its equator to the rest of the eye [2] [3] through the ciliary body.
The posterior layer is attached to the spinous processes of lumbar and sacral vertebrae, and to the supraspinous ligament. [ 2 ] : 814–815 At sacral levels, the posterior layer attaches to the posterior superior iliac spines, and posterior iliac crest, fuses with the underlying erector spinae muscle aponeurosis, [ 2 ] : 814–815 and extends ...

The lumbosacral ligament extends obliquely inferior-ward from its medial attachment. Superiorly, it is partially continuous with the inferior margin of the iliolumbar ligament [ 2 ] (the lumbosarcal ligament can be considered an inferior subdivision of the iliolumbar ligament).
