  2. Posterior superior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_superior_iliac_spine

    The posterior border of the ala of sacrum, shorter than the anterior, also presents two projections separated by a notch, the posterior superior iliac spine and the posterior inferior iliac spine. The posterior superior iliac spine serves for the attachment of the oblique portion of the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and the multifidus.

  3. Anterior superior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, the sartorius muscle, [1] [4] and the tensor fasciae latae muscle. [2] [3] A variety of structures lie close to the anterior superior iliac spine, including the subcostal nerve, [5] the femoral artery (which passes between it and the pubic symphysis), [4] and the iliohypogastric nerve.

  4. Multifidus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifidus_muscle

    The multifidus (multifidus spinae; pl.: multifidi) muscle consists of a number of fleshy and tendinous fasciculi, which fill up the groove on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae, from the sacrum to the axis. While very thin, the multifidus muscle plays an important role in stabilizing the joints within the spine.

  5. Iliac crest - Wikipedia

    To the external lip are attached the Tensor fasciae latae, Obliquus externus abdominis, and Latissimus dorsi, and along its whole length the fascia lata; to the intermediate line, the Obliquus internus abdominis. To the internal lip, the iliac fascia, the Transversus abdominis, Quadratus lumborum, Sacrospinalis, and Iliacus.

  6. Sacrotuberous ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrotuberous_ligament

    It is a remnant of part of biceps femoris muscle. The sacrotuberous ligament is attached by its broad base to the posterior superior iliac spine, the posterior sacroiliac ligaments (with which it is partly blended), to the lower transverse sacral tubercles and the lateral margins of the lower sacrum and upper coccyx.

  7. Anterior inferior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_inferior_iliac_spine

    Anteromedially and inferiorly to the AIIS is the iliopsoas groove, the passage for the iliopsoas muscle as it passes down to the lesser trochanter of the femur. A vague line, the inferior gluteal line, might run from the AIIS to the greater sciatic notch which delineates the inferior extent of the origin of gluteus minimus muscle. [1]

    The muscle which can 'cancel' or to some degree reverse the action of the muscle. Muscle synergies are noted in parentheses when relevant. O (Occurrences) Number of times that the named muscle row occurs in a standard human body. Here it may also be denoted when a given muscles only occurs in a male or a female body.

  9. Iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_spine

    The ilium is a bone of the pelvic girdle with four bony projections, each serving as attachment points for muscles and ligaments: Anterior superior iliac spine; Anterior inferior iliac spine; Posterior superior iliac spine; Posterior inferior iliac spine
