Abdominal Aorta by A.Griguolo

Generality The abdominal aorta is the second of the two large sections, in which the aorta is divided, that is the main artery of the human body. Next to the thoracic aorta - which is therefore the first large section of the aorta - the abdominal aorta traverses the abdomen in the direction of the lower limbs, starting its course at the level of the diaphragm and ending at the IV lumbar vertebra, where it bifurcates in the right common iliac artery and left common iliac artery

Iliopsoas

The ileopsoas muscle is often considered as a single biarticular muscle, located in the low back region and in the anterior region of the thigh. In reality it is formed by two distinct portions: the large psoas muscle, and the iliac muscle. It originates from the lateral faces of the bodies of the last thoracic vertebra, from the first four lumbar vertebrae and from the interposed disks, and from the base of the transverse processes of the first four lumbar vertebrae

Iliac

The iliac muscle is a muscle located in the iliac fossa and participates in the formation of the posterior abdominal wall. It originates from the iliac fossa, from the internal labrum of the iliac crest, from the two anterior iliac spines, from the interlocking incisive between them and from the wing of the sacrum

Infraspinatus or sub-term

The infraspinatus muscle takes origin from the 3/4 medialis of the infraspinata fossa, from the spine of the scapula and from the band infraspinata. Its bundles are directed obliquely upward and end in a tendon that is inserted on the middle facet of the great humeral tuberosity. With his action he externally rotates his arm and strengthens the capusla of the scapular humeral joint, stabilizing it

Breathing muscles

The breathing muscles can be classified into two main categories: on the one hand the inspiratory muscles that with their action elevate the ribs and the sternum increasing the volume of the rib cage and on the other the expiratory muscles that lower the ribs and the sternum decreasing the volume of the rib cage

Levers and locomotor apparatus

A lever is a simple machine, a device built by man to win by means of a force, called a motor, another force called a resistant one. The purpose of the primordial levers was to amplify the human strength allowing to perform jobs not allowed by the simple use of the muscular force. The levers obey a fairly simple physical principle: the system is in equilibrium if the resultant of the moments of the two forces is zero
