Buttock muscles, artwork C013 / 4416
Buttock muscles. Computer artwork of a posterior oblique view of the hips showing some of the muscles (red) of the buttocks. These are shown attached to the femurs (thigh bones) and the pelvis bones. The lower part of the spine is at upper right, ending in the sacrum and coccyx. At centre left the muscles from top to bottom are: the piriformis; the superior gemellus; the obturator internus; the inferior gemellus; and the quadratus femoris. These muscles, known as the lateral rotators, act to laterally rotate the thigh. They are shown in full at left, and in soft focus at right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of buttock muscles in a male skeleton. The computer artwork presents a posterior oblique view of the hips, highlighting the red-colored muscles that make up the buttocks. These muscles are connected to both the femurs (thigh bones) and pelvis bones, playing a crucial role in various movements and stability. At first glance, one can observe the lower part of the spine positioned at the upper right corner, culminating in the sacrum and coccyx. Moving towards center left, we encounter an array of muscles from top to bottom: piriformis, superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus, and quadratus femoris. Collectively known as lateral rotators due to their function in laterally rotating the thigh, these muscles are depicted clearly on one side while softly focused on another. The image not only provides insight into human anatomy but also emphasizes key elements such as bone structure (femur), connective tissue (tendons and ligaments), joints (hip joint), and overall musculoskeletal system. It offers a visual representation of how different components work together harmoniously for optimal movement. With its detailed portrayal of hip bones, pelvic region, thigh bone attachments along with informative labels describing each anatomical feature involved - this artwork serves as an educational tool for understanding our body's complex architecture.
