Referring to the buttocks or to one of its component structures: There are three large gluteal muscles of each buttock, especially the "gluteus maximus", that extend, abduct, and rotate the thigh.

Either of two nerves coming from the sacral plexus and supplying the gluteal muscles and adjacent parts.

The contraction of the gluteus muscles that result when the back is stroked.

The region or area over the gluteal muscles.

A prominent fold that marks the upper limit of the thigh from the lower limit of the buttock.

It coincides with the lower border of the gluteus maximus muscle and is the furrow between the buttock and the thigh.

A nerve formed by branches of the sacral plexus which supplies muscles in the gluteal region.

The sacral plexus is a network of motor and sensory nerves originating from the nerves of the sacral spine and innervating large areas of the lower trunk and legs; especially, via the sciatic nerves which extend through the muscles of the thigh, legs, and feet, with numerous branches.

Veins that drain the gluteal muscles on either side of the body.
