Answer 1

1. . Right thigh and hip, deep posterior view

1. Gluteus maximus: It is the main extensor muscle of the hip. It is one of the largest muscles of the hip.
2. Piriformis: This muscle is present in the gluteal region of the lower hip. It is one of the muscles of the lateral rotator group.
3. Gemellus superior: This muscle arises from the gluteal part of the spine and blends with the obturator internus’ upper part.
4. obturator internus: This muscle originates in the pelvis and it covers out and inserts into the posterior part of the head of the femur.
5. Gemellus inferior: This muscle originates from the tuberosity of the ischium and goes below the groove of the obturator internus.
6. Gluteus medius: This is one of the three gluteal muscles of the hip. It is broad, thick and radiates and covers the posterior third of the pelvis.
7. Gluteus minimus: It is one of the smallest of the three gluteal muscles and is located below the gluteal medius.
8. Gluteus maximus (cut): It is the main extensor muscle of the hip. It is one of the largest muscles of the hip. It is the collective of the gluteus minimus and the gluteus medium.
9. Quadratus femoris: It is the quadrilateral muscle of the skeletal system located at the posterior part of the hip joint.

b. Right thigh and hip, deep anterior view

10. Iliacus: It is flat; triangle-shaped muscle and forms the lateral portion of the iliopsoas.

11. Psoas major: This is a long fusiform muscle located between the vertebral column and the brim portion of the lesser pelvis.

12. Iliopsoas: It is the inner muscle of the hip and it is composed of two muscles iliacus and the psoas major.

13. Tensor fascia lata: It is a fusiform muscle located between two layers of the fascia lata and it covers the gluteal minimus and a part of the gluteus medius.

14. Iliotibial tract: It is a large, thick band of muscle that runs laterally through the thigh.
