Adductor magnus muscle, posterior view.

Lateral view of the gluteal region showing the gluteus maximus muscle and its skeletal attachments.

Bones of lower limb showing muscle attachments. B. Posterior view.

Glutei. Gluteus. D. Coronal view.

Ischioanal fossa and related structures (male cadaver in prone position).

Gluteal region muscles; deep dissection. The gluteus maximus and medius are reflected to allow access to deeper layers.

Partially detach and reflect the gluteus maximus muscle to expose the nerve and the vessels to the ischioanal fossa.

The reference line in the gluteal region is the readily defined inferior border of the piriformis muscle (P). The position of the glueus maximus is indicated by dotted lines.

Lateral view of the gluteal region showing the gluteus minimus muscle and its skeletal attachments.

Glutei. Gluteus maximus. A. Posterolateral view.

Walls of pelvis minor, sagittal sections. B. Ligaments and obturator nerve.

Muscles of gluteal region; superficial dissection.
