Glutes

These three images show the muscles that create the hips and the glutes. Primarily they run from the top of the pelvis bone down to the top of the Tibia. With exception of the bottom of the glutes attaching to the top half of the femur. In the fist picture you can see where the attachment on the tibia is located and how the muscle wraps around from the back to attach in the front of the tibia.


In this image you can see the total length of the muscles, running from the pelvis bone's ilium to the tibia. Specifically you can see how the muscles connect to each other in the middle of the femur and form one muscle to run down the femur. It can't be seen clear here but the glutes are actually not connected to the rest of the muscle mass.





The last image to the left shows the separation of the glutes. As well it shows the attachment of the glutes to the back of the Femur bone. Also this image shows better the wrapping of the muscles around the femur bone and to the front of the tibia where it connects.






In class we were missing Reuben and Eric unfortunately didn't have his model that day. So comparing both mine and Melissa's model we only found a couple differences. Melissa's muscles didn't wrap around from the back to the front, instead they attached to the back of the tibia, where mine wrapped around. We referred back to the book to find out which way was correct and found out that it most likely attaches to the front of the tibia. Other then that, both of the muscles seemed to have the correct muscle masses.
