gluteal muscle in dogs
On of the muscles that make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus muscle, gluteus medius muscle and gluteus minimus muscle. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the gluteal muscle is
On of the muscles that make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus muscle, gluteus medius muscle and gluteus minimus muscle. The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the gluteal muscle is
It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the muscular system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.
What the gluteal muscle connects to
The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, organism subdivision and pelvic girdle region.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the gluteal muscle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as gluteus and gluteus muscle. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
