  2. Erector spinae muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erector_spinae_muscles

    The erector spinae (/ ɪ ˈ r ɛ k t ər ˈ s p aɪ n i / irr-EK-tər SPY-nee) [1] or spinal erectors is a set of muscles that straighten and rotate the back.The spinal erectors work together with the glutes (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus) to maintain stable posture standing or sitting.

  3. Iliocostalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliocostalis

    Iliocostalis muscle has a common origin from the iliac crest, the sacrum, the thoracolumbar fascia, and the spinous processes of the vertebrae from T11 to L5. [1]Iliocostalis cervicis (cervicalis ascendens) arises from the angles of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs, and is inserted into the posterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the fourth, fifth, and sixth cervical vertebrae.

  4. Longissimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longissimus

    The longissimus thoracis et lumborum is the intermediate and largest of the continuations of the erector spinae.. In the lumbar region (longissimus lumborum), where it is as yet blended with the iliocostalis, some of its fibers are attached to the whole length of the posterior surfaces of the transverse processes and the accessory processes of the lumbar vertebrae, and to the anterior layer of ...

  5. Spinalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinalis

    Spinalis dorsi, the medial continuation of the sacrospinalis, is scarcely separable as a distinct muscle.It is situated at the medial side of the longissimus dorsi, and is intimately blended with it; it arises by three or four tendons from the spinous processes of the first two lumbar and the last two thoracic vertebrae: these, uniting, form a small muscle which is inserted by separate tendons ...

  6. Superior cluneal nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_cluneal_nerves

    After they branch off the dorsal rami, they pass through the erector spinae muscle, psoas major, paraspinal muscles, and then inferior latissimus dorsi to reach the iliac crest. [ 5 ] The nerves then pass through an osteofibrous tunnel created by the thoracolumbar fascia and rim of the superior iliac crest. [ 6 ]

  7. Epaxial and hypaxial muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaxial_and_hypaxial_muscles

    Epaxial muscles include other (dorsal) muscles associated with the vertebrae, ribs, and base of the skull. In humans, the erector spinae, the transversospinales (including the multifidus, semispinalis and rotatores), the splenius and suboccipital muscles are the only epaxial muscles. Hypaxial and epaxial muscles develop directly from somitic ...

  8. Spinal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_nerve

    The laterals supply the erector spinae muscles. The upper three give off cutaneous nerves which pierce the aponeurosis of the latissimus dorsi at the lateral border of the erector spinae muscles, and descend across the posterior part of the iliac crest to the skin of the buttock , some of their twigs running as far as the level of the greater ...
