Dissection. No detailed description is required for the dissection of these muscles. On 

 the removal of the viscera from the abdomen they are exposed, covered by the peritoneum and 

 a thin layer of fascia, the iliac fascia. 



The iliac fascia 1 is the aponeurotic layer which lines the back part of the 

 abdominal cavity, and covers the Psoas and Iliacus muscles throughout their whole 

 1 The student must not confound this fascia with the iliac portion of the fascia lata (see p. 420).
