Gluteus maximus muscle (3D)

The video tutorial explores the anatomy and functions of the gluteus maximus muscle. It covers the muscle's origin, insertion, and the joints it crosses, focusing on its role in hip joint movements. The tutorial highlights five key functions: extension, lateral rotation, abduction, adduction, and stabilization of the pelvis. Practical examples, such as squatting and kicking, demonstrate these movements. The video concludes with a summary of the muscle's functions and encourages viewers to explore more content on muscle functions.
