The upper two arteries, on each side, also pass posterior to the crura of the diaphragm. Beyond the interval between the trans- verse processes of the vertebras each artery turns laterally and crosses the quadratus lumborum—the last usually passing anterior to, and the others posterior to the muscle; it then pierces the aponeurosis of origin of the trans- versa, and proceeds forwards in the lateral abdominal wall, in the interval between the transversus and internal oblique muscles.
