Insertion[edit | edit source]

By tendons into inferior borders of the angles of the lower 6 or 7 ribs[2][3]


Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]

Dorsal rami of thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves (T7 to L3)[4]

Dorsal branches of the lumbar arteries from the aorta. Dorsal branches of the lateral sacral artery from the internal iliac artery.[4]
