Iliopectineal arch
The Iliopectineal arch is a thickened band of fused iliac fascia and psoas fascia[1] passing from the posterior aspect of the inguinal ligament anteriorly across the front of the femoral nerve to attach to the iliopubic eminence of the hip bone posteriorly. The iliopectinal arch thus forms a septum which subdivides the space deep to the inguinal ligament into a lateral muscular lacuna and a medial vascular lacuna. When a psoas minor muscle is present, its tendon of insertion blends with the iliopectineal arch

gollark: I imagine shopping spreads it a lot.
gollark: Oh, it definitely slows down spread. I'm just saying that it doesn't *stop* it, which is why you still have new cases.
gollark: If everyone were isolated in airtight chambers and never left for probably a month or so you would get rid of viruses. But we can't do that, unfortunately.
gollark: Yes, and that's not total enough to totally stop spread.
