- 10. Psoas major • Originatesfrom bodies of T12 to L5, intervertebral disks and the medial end of transverse processors • Inserted into the lesser trochanter of the femur • Part above the medial arcuate ligament lies in the thoracic cavity • Flexes the hip and laterally flexes the lumbar spine • Both muscles acting together flexes the trunk
- 11. Quadratus lumborum Quadratus lumborum Iliolumbar ligament Anteriorsacroiliac ligament
- 12. Quadratus lumborum • Originatesfrom transverse process of L5, iliolumbar ligament and iliac crest • Inserted into the transverse processes of L4 to L1 and the 12th rib medial half

- 14. Iliacus • Originates fromupper 2/3 of iliac fossa and anterior sacroiliac ligament thereby filling the illiac fossa • Inserted into the lesser trochanter of the femur trough a common tendon with the psoas major • Flexes the hip Psoas major muscle Iliacus Common attachment
- 15. Fascia of theposterior abdominal wall • Psoas fascia • Iliac fascia • Lumbar part of the thoracolumbar fascia
- 16. Psoas fascia • Thickfascial sheath surrounding the psoas muscle • Arises as the muscle enters the abdominal cavity under the medial arcuate ligament • Ends at the pelvic brim as the muscle leaves the abdomen inferior to the inguinal ligament (does not extend into the thigh)
- 17. Thoracolumbar fascia • Extendsfrom the back of sacrum to the neck • Binds erector spinae to vertebral column and encloses the quadratus lumborum • Very strong in the lumbar region • Laterally it gives origin to internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles • Its lumbar part medially splits into three layers
