Iliopsoas muscles, artwork C013 / 4425

Iliopsoas muscles. Computer artwork of an anterior (frontal) view of the hips, showing the inner hip muscles (red), the ilioposas. These are shown attached to the bones of the thighs (femurs), pelvis and spine. The psoas major muscles (one shown) attach to the transverse processes (hidden by muscle) of the vertebrae of the lumbar (lower) spine. They also attach to the femurs (thigh bones). The iliacus muscles attach to the ilium (ear-shaped hip bone) and the femur. These two muscle sets are the strongest of the hip flexor muscles, which are the muscles that act to pull the knee upwards

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the iliopsoas muscles, a vital component of our musculoskeletal system. In this computer artwork, we are presented with an anterior view of the hips, where the inner hip muscles are highlighted in vibrant red hues. These powerful muscle groups, known as the ilioposas, exhibit their remarkable attachment to various bones within our body. The psoas major muscles steal attention as they elegantly connect to the transverse processes of the lumbar spine's vertebrae and also find anchorage on the femurs or thigh bones. Meanwhile, their counterpart, the iliacus muscles gracefully attach themselves to both the ilium (hip bone) and femur. As part of a larger group called hip flexor muscles, these two sets stand out for being exceptionally strong in pulling our knees upwards. Their harmonious collaboration ensures smooth movement and stability in our lower limbs. This male skeleton illustration not only offers a glimpse into human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how interconnected our skeletal structure is with its muscular counterparts. From healthy joints to normal spinal alignment, every detail is meticulously represented in this frontal view artwork. Let this mesmerizing print serve as an inspiration for those fascinated by biology and all that lies beneath our skin - a testament to nature's brilliance at work.
