The biggest (bulkiest) of the skeletal muscles is the Gluteus maximus - the buttock muscle. It is a very superficial and prominent muscle. In humans it is bigger than that of chimpanzees and gorillas. There are three major muscles in the buttock: the Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus.
The Gluteus maximus has an origin in the iliac crest (the hip bones upper margin) as well as from the sacrum (the triangular bone forming the hip girdle). The Gluteus maximus is inserted into the femur, or thigh bone. The job of the Gluteus maximus is to move the thigh away from body in median line. It also rotates the thigh laterally, or sideways.
