“PSOAS” in italiano

Another group of muscles of the pelvic girdle act to flex the hip, and include the psoas , the iliacus, a combination of the two called the iliopsoas, the pectineus, and the sartorius muscles.

The femoral nerve may run buried in a cleft of the iliacus under the psoas .

The psoas and iliacus muscles are occasionally completely independent muscles.

The primary muscles involved in raising the legs (hip flexion) are the psoas and iliacus - collectively known as the iliopsoas - as well as the rectus femoris and pectineus.

The internal iliac artery (ie, hypogastric) enters the pelvis and supplies the psoas major and quadratus lumborum muscles, the pelvic viscera, and parts of the bony pelvis.
