Buttock muscles, artwork C013 / 4415

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 upper 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 lower right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of muscles in the buttocks, providing a detailed view from a posterior oblique angle. The computer artwork beautifully highlights the red-toned muscles that are attached to both the femurs and pelvis bones. At the upper left corner, we can observe a sequence of muscles including the piriformis, superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus, and quadratus femoris. These remarkable lateral rotators play a crucial role in laterally rotating the thigh. The image also offers glimpses of other anatomical structures such as the lower part of the spine with its sacrum and coccyx located at upper right. From behind, one can appreciate how these robust muscles interact with connective tissues like tendons and ligaments to support healthy hip movement. With its focus on skeletal structure and musculature, this illustration provides valuable insights into human anatomy. It emphasizes key elements such as bones (including femurs), joints, tendons, ligaments within our hips and thighs while showcasing their interplay within our musculoskeletal system. Overall this visually striking artwork serves as an educational tool for students studying biology or anyone interested in understanding human anatomy more comprehensively.
