In the name of God
Posterior abdominal wall

Dr. Maria Zahiri
consists of:
fasciae, muscles and their vessels and spinal nerves.
& several viscera :
kidneys, suprarenal (adrenal) glands, pancreas, ureters

lumbar vertebrae
• five vertebrae between the rib cage and the pelvis.
• They are the largest segments of the vertebral column The
lumbar vertebrae help support the weight of the body, and
permit movement
Dr. Maria Zahiri
• Iliac fossa
• Last ribs

Muscles:
PSOAS MAJOR
• Morphology:
is a long fusiform muscle
• Location:
on the side of the lumbar region of the vertebral column and
brim of the lesser pelvis.
• Junction:
It joins the iliacus muscle to form the iliopsoas.
In less than 50 percent of human subjects, the psoas major is
accompanied by the psoas minor.
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Muscles:
PSOAS MAJOR
• Origion:
transverse processes of lumbar
vertebrae I-V.
• Insertion
lesser trochanter of the femur.
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Psoas minor
• Origion:
the last thoracic and first
lumbar vertebrae.
• Insertion:
iliopectineal eminence.
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Iliacus
• Origion:
iliac fossa on the interior side of
the hip bone
• Insertion:
• lesser trochanter of the femur

Quadratus lumborum
Origin:
from the lower border of the last rib
by four small tendons from the apices
of the transverse processes of the
upper four lumbar vertebrae
Insertion:
the internal lip of the iliac crest
for about 5 cm.,
Dr. Maria Zahiri
diaphragm
• is a dome-shaped musculofibrous septum
• separates the thoracic from the abdominal cavity,
• Its peripheral part consists of muscular fibers that take origin
from the circumference of the inferior thoracic aperture and
converge to be inserted into a central tendon.
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Part Origin
• The muscular fibers may be grouped according to their origins into three
parts:
• Sternal:
two muscular slips from the back of the xiphoid process.
• Costal:
The inner surfaces of the cartilages and adjacent portions of the lower six ribs
on either side, interdigitating with the Transversus abdominis.
• Lumbar:
Aponeurotic arches, named the lumbocostal arches, and from the lumbar
vertebrae by two pillars or crura.
There are two lumbocostal arches, a medial and a lateral, on either side.
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Crura and central tendon
• At their origins the crura(crus) are tendinous in structure
• The retrocrural area is the area behind the crus of the
diaphragm.
• The central tendon of the diaphragm is a thin but strong
aponeurosis situated near the center of the vault formed by the
muscle

Thoracolumbar fascia (lumbodorsal
fascia
• Is a deep investing membrane
• covers the deep muscles of the back of the trunk
• It is made up of three layers, anterior, middle, and posterior.
The anterior layer is the thinnest
• The posterior layer is the thickest.
• Two spaces are formed between these three layers of the
fascia.
• Between the anterior and middle layer lies the quadratus
lumboru muscle.
• The erector spinae muscle is enclosed between the middle and
posterior layers.
Dr. Maria Zahiri
The posterior layer
to the spines of the lumbar and sacral vertebrae
The middle layer
is attached medially to the tips of the transverse processes of the
lumbar vertebrae
The anterior layer covers quadratus lumborum

Urinary System
Kidneys:
Kidneys are retroperitoneal.
Lie against posterior abdominal wall on either side of vertebral
column.
Generally lie adjacent to upper three lumbar vertebrae.

Subdivisions:
Cortex.
Medulla with renal

Blood supply of kidney
• Right and left
renal arteries:
Right is longer than
the left.
• Extrahilar
arteries
• Right and left
renal veins:
• Left is longer than
the right
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Ureter
• is a continuation of the pelvis.
• Descends retroperitoneally on the
anterior surface of the psoas major.
• Passes anterior to bifurcation of
common iliac.

Blood supply of ureters
Dr. Maria Zahiri
Suprarenal (adrenal) glands:
Lie against posterior abdominal wall on superior poles of
kidneys.
Arterial supply:
Superior suprarenal arteries:
From inferior phrenic artery.
Middle suprarenal artery:
From abdominal aorta.
Inferior suprarenal arteries:
From renal artery

Venous drainage:
Right suprarenal vein to inferior vena cava.
Left suprarenal vein to renal vein.
