Chapter 12. Application of Changing Criterion Design. Limitations of the Study One limitation of the study was gender bias. It was noted in the study that there are more overweight girls than boys, yet the authors included only boys in the study. Therefore, the findings may not be generalizable to the general population.
Anatomy. The buttocks are formed by the masses of the gluteal muscles or glutes (the gluteus maximus muscle and the gluteus medius muscle) superimposed by a layer of fat. The superior aspect of the buttock ends at the iliac crest, and the lower aspect is outlined by the horizontal gluteal crease. The gluteus maximus has two insertion points: 1â3 superior portion of the linea aspera of the femur, and the superior portion of the iliotibial tractus.
When it comes to size, muscles are large or small, short or long, or wide. The largest muscle in a related group of muscles is often referred to as maximus or magnus. An example that you're familiar with is the gluteus maximus. Gluteus is Latin for your rear end -- or more politely, your buttock.
