what is name of muscle that connects ribs to hips
The tensor fasciae latae are a set of small muscles that connect the ilium to the iliotibial tract and help the gluteus maximus. They also allow the hips to extend out away from the body and help you keep one foot in front of the other. The latissimus dorsi muscle is the widest and most powerful back muscle. It extends from the upper arm bone to the hip bone and joins the abdominal and pectoral muscles. It helps with forced breathing by raising and lowering the ribs.
