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 ...
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 iliolumbar ligament and lumbosacral ligaments are attached to the ala. In the middle of the base is a large oval articular surface, the upper surface of the body of the first sacral vertebra, which is connected with the under surface of the body of the last lumbar vertebra by an intervertebral fibrocartilage .
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).
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 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.
Tenon's capsule (/ t ə ˈ n oʊ n /), also known as the Tenon capsule, fascial sheath of the eyeball (Latin: vagina bulbi) or the fascia bulbi, is a thin membrane which envelops the eyeball from the optic nerve to the corneal limbus, separating it from the orbital fat and forming a socket in which it moves.
