What is a gluteal tuberosity?

Gluteal tuberosity is the surface of the femur bone in the leg, which serves as a point of connection for the muscles of the gluteus maximus. The gluteal tuberosity, which is located on the rear surface of the bone, forms the outer edge of Linea Aspera, a raised bony ridge that runs vertically down through the center of the back shaft of the femur. Along this boundary, gluteus maximus fibers are attached, thus pulling the leg back in muscle contraction. It also performs the external rotation and rotates the leg outwards into the hip joint. This muscle comes from the central rear pelvis on the cross or koccyx, the two lower bones of the spine, as well as the upper back of the pelvis bone, with fibers outward and down. Most of these fibers cross behind the hip joint and place in the iliotibial (to) belt, the length of the fibrous tissue that leads along the length of the outer thigh and provides a point of connection for many thigh muscles.

nHowever, the ejhluber gluteus maximus fibers are attached to the gluteal tuberosity. These fibers belong to the bottom of the muscle. They run in parallel with the fibers of the rest of the muscle, but instead of merging with the IT zone fibers, they connect to the bone bone. If the rear shaft is slightly raised along Linea Aspera, the ridge is present along both vertical boundaries. The side comb and surface surface of the Linea Aspera side form the insertion point for gluteus Maximus: Gluteal tuberosity.

When gluteus maximus becomes, its fibers shorten and create up and into the femur. The fibers that contribute to the IT zone spread towards the outer thigh so that the leg turns around the front of the thigh. The deeper fibers that connect to the gluteal tuberosity extend down. When the muscle contracts are pulled to the back thighs, they pull up to the back thigh so that the leg simultaneously spreads behind the body. Are particularly active during explosive pushing movements such as a jump up from SQUat positions, exploding from the line during the sprint or bounding of the flight up the stairs, but are also used during the exercise of hip extensions such as deadlifts.
