Regarding the innervationón , the two of meúcenturies that form the psoas ilíaco are innervated by different branches. In the case of the psoas major, it is due to the branches of the anterior branch of the lumbar plexus., de L1 a L3. For his part, he heíaco does it by the branches of the femoral nerve (L2, L3).

By úlast, the irrigationón también is divided according to the portions of the múiliopsoas skull. Nevertheless, some músculi share the same blood supplyón. The psoas major is supplied by the lumbar arteries., that is to say, branches of the abdominal aorta artery, and the external iliac, the continuationón of the abdominal aorta artery.
