Buttock muscles, artwork C013 / 4422
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. At upper left is the gluteus minimus, the smallest of the three gluteal muscles. It is covered by the two larger gluteal muscles, the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. These two larger muscles have been removed at left, but are shown on the right hip (centre right). The lower part of the spine, ending in the sacrum and coccyx, is between the two hips. Some of the lower ribs are at top right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the buttock muscles, providing a fascinating glimpse into human anatomy. In this computer artwork, we are presented with a posterior oblique view of the hips, unveiling the complex network of muscles that contribute to our mobility and stability. Highlighted in vibrant red hues, these muscular structures are depicted attaching to both the femurs (thigh bones) and pelvis bones. At first glance, one can observe the gluteus minimus positioned at the upper left corner - although it is overshadowed by its larger counterparts: the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius. While these two prominent muscles have been removed on one side for clarity purposes, they remain intact on the right hip. The lower part of the spine gracefully curves between both hips before culminating in the sacrum and coccyx. Meanwhile, some lower ribs make an appearance at top right, further emphasizing how interconnected our skeletal system truly is. This illustration not only provides valuable insights into human biology but also serves as a reminder of our body's resilience and complexity. From behind, we witness how various elements such as connective tissue, tendons, ligaments seamlessly work together within our musculoskeletal system to support healthy movement. In summary, this striking image encapsulates an amalgamation of artistry and science - offering viewers a chance to marvel at their own anatomical wonders while deepening their understanding of human physiology.
