Pelvis & gluteal region
Product code: HP0909
-
Whole Whole region / system / unpaired organ.
The gluteal region contains some of the largest muscles in the body responsible for standing, hip joint movement, gait, and stabilisation of the pelvis and trunk. The region also conveys numerous neural structures from the pelvis to the perineum and lower limb, a knowledge of which is essential for safe interventional procedures. This Silicone Plastinate focusses on the muscles of the gluteal region and various muscles of the posterior and medial compartments of the proximal thigh. The pelvic cavity and pelvic diaphragm are also revealed.
