muscle and latissimus dorsi muscle (Figure 1.3).
Anatomically, two triangular shaped spaces can be identified: the triangle of auscultation
and the lumbar triangle. The triangle of auscultation is bordered by the trapezius muscle,
latissimus dorsi muscle, and the medial border of the scapula. The lumbar triangle is
bordered by the latissimus dorsi muscle, external abdominal oblique muscle, and iliac crest.

erector spinae muscle is formed by three columns of muscles (Figure 1.6). The most
lateral column is the iliocostalis thoracis muscle; the intermediate column is the longissimus
thoracis muscle; and the most medial column is the spinalis muscle. There are three
divisions of iliocostalis muscle that are named for their regional location: iliocostalis
lumborum, iliocostalis thoracis, and iliocostalis cervicis. There are also three divisions of
the longissimus muscle: longissimus thoracis, longissimus cervicis, and longissimus
capitis and three divisions of the spinalis muscle: spinalis thoracis, spinalis cervicis, and
spinalis capitis.

the longissimus thoracis muscle; and the most medial column is the spinalis muscle. There are three divisions of iliocostalis muscle that are named for their regional location: iliocostalis lumborum, iliocostalis thoracis, and iliocostalis cervicis.

Helpful Mnemonic: The three columns of erector spinae muscles can be remembered with the phrase I Like Standing (Iliocostalis muscle, Longissimus muscle, and Spinalis muscle), which also reminds the student of the primary function of these muscles in keeping the body in the erect position.
