A04.7.02.003. TA2. 2594. FMA. 22310. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The iliacus is a flat, triangular muscle which fills the iliac fossa. It forms the lateral portion of iliopsoas, providing flexion of the thigh and lower limb at the acetabulofemoral joint.
The coccygeus muscle is posterior to levator ani and anterior to the sacrospinous ligament in the pelvic floor. It is a triangular plane of muscular and tendinous fibers. It arises by its apex from the spine of the ischium and sacrospinous ligament. [3][4] It is inserted by its base into the margin of the coccyx and into the side of the lowest ...
The iliacus and psoas major comprise the iliopsoas group. The psoas major is a large muscle that runs from the bodies and disc of the L1 to L5 vertebrae, joins with the iliacus via its tendon, and connects to the lesser trochanter of the femur. The iliacus originates on the iliac fossa of the ilium. Together these muscles are commonly referred ...
The left quadratus lumborum, one of the posterior abdominal muscles, is depicted in red. The quadratus lumborum muscle, informally called the QL, is a paired muscle of the left and right posterior abdominal wall. It is the deepest abdominal muscle, and commonly referred to as a back muscle. Each muscle of the pair is an irregular quadrilateral ...
The transversalis fascia (or transverse fascia) is the fascial lining of the anterolateral abdominal wall [1][2] situated between the inner surface of the transverse abdominal muscle, and the preperitoneal fascia. [3][2] It is directly continuous with the iliac fascia, [2] the internal spermatic fascia, [citation needed] and pelvic fascia. [2]
The ilioinguinal nerve is visible at the upper left. Skin over the root of the penis and upper part of the scrotum (male), skin covering the mons pubis and labium majus (female). Motor innervation of the transverse abdominus and obliques. The ilioinguinal nerve is a branch of the first lumbar nerve (L1). It separates from the first lumbar nerve ...
Iliopsoas. Anterior hip and thigh muscles. The iliopsoas muscle (/ ˌɪlioʊˈsoʊ.əs /; from Latin ile 'groin' and Ancient Greek ψόᾱ (psóā) 'muscles of the loins') refers to the joined psoas major and the iliacus muscles. The two muscles are separate in the abdomen, but usually merge in the thigh. They are usually given the common name ...
The lumbar plexus and its branches. (Iliohypogastric visible at upper left.) The iliohypogastric nerve is a nerve that originates from the lumbar plexus that supplies sensation to skin over the lateral gluteal and hypogastric regions and motor to the internal oblique muscles and transverse abdominal muscles.
