Muscle glossary
muscles:
- Gluteal - The gluteal muscles are four different muscles; the gluteus maximus muscle, gluteus medius muscle and gluteus minimus muscle, which make up the buttocks, and lastly the tensor fasciae latae muscle, which is located anterior and lateral to the rest. Here is a diagram of the Gluteal muscles:
- Trapezius - the trapizius is a large muscle that extends from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae and to the spine of the scapula (shoulder blade).
- Deltoid - the deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder.
- Latissimus dorsi - meaning 'the broadest muscle' of the back, is the larger, flat, dorso-lateral muscle on the trunk, posterior to the arm, and partly covered by the trapezius.
- Hamstring - the hamstring is a group of tendons contracted by four thigh muscles that make up the space behind the knee, or their corresponding tendons.
