what muscles are in the superficial muscle group of the gluteus?
- gluteus maximus
- gluteus medius
- gluteus minimus
- tensor fascia lata
what nerve is the gluteus Maximus innervated by?
-inferior gluteal nerve
what are all the muscles in the superficial group of the gluteal region apart from the gluteus maximus innervated by?
superior gluteal
(the other nerves are the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fascia lata)

- piriformis
- obturator internus
- gemelli
- quadratus femoris
what is the role of the superficial muscle group of the gluteal region?
Superficial abductors and extenders
-abduct and extend the femur
(superficial muscles of gluteal region are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fascia lata)
what are the roles of the deep muscle group of the gluteal region?
- deep lateral rotators
- mainly act to laterally rotate the femur
(muscles of the deep muscle group are the quadratus femoris, piriformis, gammelli and obturator internus)
where do nerves enter/exit in pelvis and perineum?
