370. Section through the muscles of the right in- 

 guinal region, parallel to and directly under the lig. inguinale [Pouparti]. 



Fascia iliaca (see also ri<r. 372). It covers the entire free surface of the m. iliopsoas, 

 begins above on the bodies of the lumbar vertebrae and on the crista iliaca, is strongest below, 

 and passes over medianward into the fascia pelvis. Below the lateral portion of the lig. inguinale 

 [Pouparti] it extends downward with the ra. iliopsoas, is attached lateralward to the spina 

 iliaca anterior superior and to the lig. inguinale, medianward to the eminentia iliopectinea and 

 is named, from this puint on, the fascia iliopectinea. This divides the space under the lig. 

 inguinale into two compartments, a lateral, lacuna musculorum, for the m. iliopsoas and 

 n. femoralis, and a medial, lacuna vasorum; the latter contains lateralward the a. femoralis, 

 medianward the v. femoralis and, between the latter and the lateral concave edge of lig. lacunare 

 [GimbernatiJ, the annulus femoralis, which is closed by the fascia transversaUs (sejitum femorale 

 [CloquetilJ and serves for the passage of lymph vessels. Below the lig. inguinale the fascia 

 iUopectinea covers the floor of the fossa iliopectinea and forms at the same tune the deep 

 layer of the fascia lata (see also p. 330).
