Inguinal ligament, iliac crest and the lumbodorsal fascia: Insertion: Linea alba, pectineal line of pubis (via conjoint tendon) and ribs 10-12. Artery: Subcostal arteries: Nerve: Thoracoabdominal nn. (T7-T11), subcostal n. (T12), iliohypogastric n. (L1) and ilioinguinal n. (L1) Actions: Bilateral: Compresses abdomen Unilateral: Ipsilateral ...
The iliac crest has a large amount of red bone marrow, and thus it is the site of bone marrow harvests (from both sides) to collect the stem cells used in bone marrow transplantation. The iliac crest is also considered the best donor site for bone grafting when a large quantity of bone is needed.
sacrum, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia, spinous processes: The lower six or seven ribs: lateral sacral artery: posterior branch of spinal nerve: extends/flexes vertebral column: rectus abdominis: 2 1 iliocostalis thoracis Torso, Back, right/left sacrum, iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia, spinous processes(the lower six ribs)
The transverse abdominal muscle (TVA), also known as the transverse abdominis, transversalis muscle and transversus abdominis muscle, is a muscle layer of the anterior and lateral (front and side) abdominal wall, deep to (layered below) the internal oblique muscle. It is thought by most fitness instructors to be a significant component of the core.
The quadratus lumborum muscle originates by aponeurotic fibers into the iliolumbar ligament and the internal lip of the iliac crest for about 5 centimetres (2.0 in). It inserts from the lower border of the last rib for about half its length and by four small tendons from the apices of the transverse processes of the upper four lumbar vertebrae.
The margins of the inferior lumbar (Petit's) triangle are composed of the iliac crest inferiorly and the margins of two muscles – latissimus dorsi (posteriorly) and external abdominal oblique (anteriorly). The floor of the inferior lumbar triangle is the internal abdominal oblique muscle.
The anterior superior iliac spine refers to the anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis. This is a key surface landmark, and easily palpated. It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, the sartorius muscle, [1] [4] and the tensor fasciae latae muscle. [2] [3]
The external oblique functions to pull the chest downwards and compress the abdominal cavity, which increases the intra-abdominal pressure as in a Valsalva maneuver.It also performs ipsilateral (same side) side-bending and contralateral (opposite side) rotation: the right external oblique would side-bend to the right and rotate to the left, and vice versa.
