Muscle, Gluteal Anterior (M. Glutaeus Anterior)

The anterior thigh muscles (lat. Musculus gluteus) are a group of muscles located on the front of the outer thigh. They are responsible for flexion and extension of the knee joint and also rotate the hip inward (pronation) and outward (supination). The muscles of the front part of the thigh with the opposite section have special anatomical features that determine their function and position on the body. This allows you to understand how they work and what kind of work they do in different situations.

The gluteal muscles are located on the buttocks and perform several functions. One of the main ones is to ensure stability of the hip joint and even distribution of the load on the entire back surface of the body. The gluteal muscles are also involved in maintaining balance when sitting and walking, helping to support the body.

The main core in the muscle structure of this group is the triceps femoris muscles, which are called m. glutae muscles. The muscle fibers are located on the inner thigh and groin, and form the wide posterior wall of the gluteal opening. Other muscles that surround the triceps include the brevis dorsi and hamstrings, as well as the internal adductor muscle. When swimming, this muscle also helps maintain balance. In general, the muscles of the gluteal region are important in providing stability and balance to the human body.
