Buttock muscles, artwork C013 / 4414
Buttock muscles. Computer artwork of a posterior 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 centre, with the sacrum and coccyx at centre. At 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 partially sectioned at right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of muscles in the buttocks, providing a fascinating glimpse into human anatomy. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a posterior view of the hips, where various muscles (highlighted in red) are depicted connecting to both the femurs and pelvis bones. At first glance, our attention is drawn to the lower part of the spine positioned at the upper center. The sacrum and coccyx take center stage, surrounded by an array of muscles that play crucial roles in hip movement. From top to bottom on the left side, we can identify several key players: piriformis, superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus, and quadratus femoris. Collectively known as lateral rotators due to their ability to laterally rotate the thigh, these muscles are shown fully intact on one side while partially sectioned on the other. The image not only highlights bone structure but also emphasizes connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments that facilitate smooth joint movements within our musculoskeletal system. With its detailed representation of bones like femurs and pelvic structures including ilium and pubis bones along with surrounding musculature – this artwork offers valuable insights into human physiology from behind. Overall, this visually striking illustration serves as a testament to both scientific inquiry and artistic expression - shedding light on our understanding of healthy hip function while showcasing the beauty found within anatomical intricacies.
