Examples of iliopsoas group in the following topics:

  • Muscles that Cause Movement at the Hip Joint

    • The four main groups of hip muscles are gluteal, adductor, iliopsoas, and lateral rotator, defined by the type of movement they mediate.
    • Hip joint muscles are divided into four groups according to their orientation and function.
    • The iliacus and psoas major comprise the iliopsoas group.
    • The iliacus and psoas major comprise the iliopsoas group.
    • The iliacus and psoas major comprise the iliopsoas group and can be seen at the pelvis and lower spine.
  • Muscles that Cause Movement at the Knee Joint

    • The pectineus and iliopsoas muscles are responsible for movement at the hip and are discussed elsewhere.
    • These muscles are sometimes termed the hamstring group.
  • Lumbar Plexus

    • It gives motor innervation to iliopsoas, pectineus, sartorius, and quadriceps femoris and sensory innervation to the anterior thigh, posterior lower leg, and hindfoot.
  • Blood Groups and Blood Types

    • Therefore, a group A individual can only receive blood from individuals of groups A or O types, and can donate blood to individuals of groups A or AB.
    • Therefore, a group B individual can only receive blood from individuals of groups B or O, and can donate blood to individuals of groups B or AB.
    • Therefore, an individual with type AB blood can receive blood from any group, but can only donate blood to another group AB individual.
    • Therefore, a group O individual can only receive blood from a group O individual, but they can donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (i.e.
    • Blood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cell.
  • Arrangement of Fascicles

    • Skeletal muscles are grouped into fascicles, which are bunches of muscle fibers surrounded by a perimysium.
    • Key muscle groups and the associated vascular and nervous systems can also be separated from other tissue, such as in the upper arm.
    • These groupings are called fascial compartments.
    • The fascia surrounding a muscle or muscle group does not contain many blood vessels, but is rich with sensory receptors.
    • Within this is a layer termed the epimysium which splits inwards into the muscle as the perimysium dividing muscle fibers into groups termed fascicle.
  • Classification of Nerves

    • Fibers of the A group have a large diameter, high conduction velocity, and are myelinated.
    • Fibers of the B group are myelinated with a small diameter and have a low conduction velocity.
    • Fibers of the C group are unmyelinated, have a small diameter, and low conduction velocity.
    • The lack of myelination in the C group is the primary cause of their slow conduction velocity.
    • C fiber axons are grouped together into what is known as Remak bundles.
  • Fluids and Aging

    • It is generally accepted that the aging process falls physiologically into three groups of changes that occur with advancing age.
    • The first group encompass changes in cellular homeostatic mechanisms, for example, body temperature, blood, and extracellular fluid volumes; the second group are related to a decrease in organ mass; the third and possibly the most important group of changes, in terms of their impact, involve a decline in and loss of the functional reserve of the body's systems.
    • Recommended intake volumes in the elderly are the same as for younger adults (2.0 L/day for females and 2.5 L/day for males) as despite lower energy consumption, the water requirement of this group is increased due to a reduction in renal concentrating capacity.
  • How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements

    • Muscles are arranged in groupings of agonist, antagonist, and synergists that produce and modulate movement.
    • The biceps and triceps muscle groups are an example of an agonist/antagonist pair.
    • Muscles exist in groupings that work to produce movements by muscle contraction.
    • The majority of muscles are grouped in pairs, with an antagonist to each agonist muscle.
  • Clusters of Neuronal Cell Bodies

    • A nucleus can either by a relatively compact collection of neurons or a distinctly identifiable group of neurons spread over a large area.
    • In addition, nucleus can refer to an identifiable distinct group of neurons that can spread over an extended area.
  • Muscular Dystrophy

    • Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases characterized by non-functional muscle proteins that impair proper function.
    • Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases characterized by the creation of non-functional muscle proteins that weakens muscles and impairs proper function.
