gluteus maximus muscle

The gluteus maximus muscle in the buttocks makes it possible to pull the legs back, push the hips forward and stand up straight.

Its function is to provide an attachment for the ascending tendon of the gluteus maximus muscle.

In relation to the human body, "buns' are a colloquialism for the gluteus maximus muscles.

By its posterior surface with the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps, and gluteus maximus muscle.

The gluteus maximus muscle and the tensor fasciae latae insert upon the tract.

The swimsuit must cover at least fifty percent of the gluteus maximus muscle; no thongs or G-strings are allowed.

The inferior gluteal nerve is the main motor neuron that innervates the gluteus maximus muscle.

Gluteus maximus muscle (lower fibres)

The perforating cutaneous nerve is a cutaneous nerve that supplies skin over the gluteus maximus muscle.

In addition to the usual function of fasciae, the lumbar fascia is an attachment for the gluteus maximus muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle.

It the divides into muscular branches to supply the gluteus maximus that pass posteriorly into the deep surface of the gluteus maximus muscle.

Three of these muscles make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus muscle, gluteus medius muscle and gluteus minimus muscle.

Added to this, if the gluteus maximus muscle - a combined hip extensor and rotator - is also put under strain, it can result in pain in the buttock region.

At its origin, the gluteus maximus muscle extends to include parts of the iliac bone, the sacrum, the coccyx, the sacrosciatic ligament, and the tuberosity of the ischium.

The volume of the anaesthetic-tumescent solution is gradually infiltrated to the pertinent gluteal area, in order to avoid the nerves and the deeper anatomic structures of the gluteus maximus muscle.

The buttocks are formed by the masses of the gluteal muscles or 'glutes' (the gluteus maximus muscle and the gluteus medius muscle) superimposed by a layer of fat.

Promising new techniques to reduce the rate of failure include an orthopedic anchoring system, a gluteus maximus muscle flap, an acellular human dermis graft, and an acellular pig collagen graft.

Anatomically, the mass of each buttock principally comprises two (2) muscles - the gluteus maximus muscle and the gluteus medius muscle - which are covered by a layer of adipose body fat.

My operating assumption was that the human body only contains one gluteus maximus muscle, but I kept coming across illustrations such as the one found here which make it look like there is one gluteus maximus per leg.

Vascularization The superior gluteal artery, the inferior gluteal artery, the superior gluteal veins, and the inferior gluteal veins irrigate the gluteus maximus muscle with arterial and venous blood.

The coccyx attaches the sacrum, from the dorsal grooves with the attachment being either a symphysis or as a true synovial joint, and also to the gluteus maximus muscle, the coccygeal muscle, and the anococcygeal ligament.

Gluteal implants The augmentation of the buttocks is realized with a gluteal implant, which is emplaced under each gluteus maximus muscle; the insertion of the buttock prosthesis is through a midline incision (5-8-cm-wide) over the tailbone (coccyx).

In surgical and body contouring praxis, the plastic surgeon effects the implant-pocket undermining of the gluteus maximus muscle by carefully separating the muscle fibres to avoid severing the pertinent blood vessels, which would interfere with the blood irrigation of the muscle tissue.
