GLUTEAL REGION. 
GLUTEUS EXTERNUS forms the top part of the haunch. Origin—from the 
spine of the third sacral bone and lower tubercle on the antero-inferior 
spinous process of the ilium. Jnsevtion—to the anterior part of the 
trochanter minor externus. 
GLUTEUS MAXIMUS is situated on the middle part of the haunch. 
Origin—from the ligamentous structure of the longissimus dorsi, from the 
spine of the second and third sacral bones, the sacro-sciatic ligament, the 
top of the supero-posterior spine, the antero-inferior spine, crista, and 
dorsal surface of the ilium. Jnsertion—to the posterior part of the - 
trochanter major externus and superior part of the tubercle. 
GLUTEUS INTERNUS is situated under the maximus. Orvigin—from the 
posterior half of the dorsum ilii and a small portion of the ischium. 
Insertion—to the upper part of the tubercle at the head of the femur, 
The action of the glutei is, to extend the femur on the pelvis, and to 
assist in the acts of kicking and rearing. They are the main propellers 
of the body. 
TENSOR VAGINE FEMORIS is placed on the antero-external part of the 
haunch. Ovrigin—from the outer part of the lower tubercle on the 
antero-inferior spinous process of the ilium. nsertion—to the superior 
part of the patella. Actcon—to assist in extending the thigh. 
EXTERNAL ILIO-FEMORAL REGION. 
TRICEPS ABDUCTOR FEMORIS occupies the postero-external side of the 
haunch and thigh. Origin—from the third and fomth spines of the 
sacrum, and from the anterior part of the tuberosity of the ischium. 
Insertion—by three attachments. rst, to the posterior part of the 
femur and lateral part of the patella. Secondly, to the lateral part of the 
ligament extending from the patella to the spinous ridge on the tibia. 
Thirdly, to the ridge on the tibia and fascia, which binds down the flexors 
and extensors. Action—to rotate the leg and to turn the hock outwards. 
BIcEPS ROTATOH TIBIALIS is situated on the postero-external side of 
the haunch. Ovigin—from the last bone of the sacrum, the two anterior 
coceygeal bones, and posterior part of the tuberosity of the ischium.
