The buttocks (sg.: buttock) are two rounded portions of the exterior anatomy of most mammals, located on the posterior of the pelvic region. In humans, the buttocks are located between the lower back and the perineum .
The gluteus maximus arises from the posterior gluteal line of the inner upper ilium, and the rough portion of bone including the crest, immediately above and behind it; from the posterior surface of the lower part of the sacrum and the side of the coccyx; from the aponeurosis of the erector spinae (lumbodorsal fascia), the sacrotuberous ligament, and the fascia covering the gluteus medius.

the gluteal region encompassing the buttocks, the femoral region encompassing the thigh, the popliteal region encompassing the back of the knee, the sural region encompassing the back of the lower leg, the calcaneal region encompassing the heel, the plantar region encompassing the sole of the foot. Some regions are combined into larger regions.
The gluteal lines are three curved lines outlined from three bony ridges on the exterior surface of the ilium in the gluteal region. [1] They are the anterior gluteal line; the inferior gluteal line, and the posterior gluteal line. The gluteus minimus, medius, and maximus are muscles that arise from the gluteal lines.
Resembling or having the form of the buttocks is known as a natiform.(We're not sure when knowing that will ever come in handy, but if it does ...
The gluteal sulcus (also known as the gluteal fold, tuck, fold of the buttock,, horizontal gluteal crease, or gluteal furrow) is an area of the body of humans and anthropoid apes, described by a horizontal crease formed by the inferior aspect of the buttocks and the posterior upper thigh. [1]
Surface anatomy deals with anatomical features that can be studied by sight, without dissection. As such, it is a branch of gross anatomy, along with endoscopic and radiological anatomy. [2] Surface anatomy is a descriptive science. [3] In particular, in the case of human surface anatomy, these are the form and proportions of the human body and ...
