Anatomy Course Starts at the greater sciatic foramen where it ascends behind and medial to the internal iliac artery until it reaches the prim of the pelvis. At this stage it joins with the external iliac vein, where it becomes the common iliac vein. Drain Drains the peritoneal area as well as the part of

Anatomy Origin: Lateral edge of costal groove of the rib above. Insertion: Superior surface of the rib below. Key relations: -Muscle fibres run in the opposite direction to the external intercostals i.e. run obliquely posteroinferiorly. -Insert deep to the insertion of the external intercostals. Functions -Moves ribs inferiorly during expiration, thereby contracting the thoracic cavity.

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the fourth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the fourth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the fifth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the fifth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the sixth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the sixth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the seventh thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the seventh intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the eighth thoracic spinal nerve. Runs along the eighth intercostal space, below the superior rib until it ends as the anterior cutaneous branch which surfaces to supply the cutaneous skin. Along the way it gives off a lateral cutaneous branch that emerges superficially and splits into a posterior and anterior

Anatomy Course Anterior division of the ninth thoracic spinal nerve.
