The term "infamous posterior" typically refers to the gluteus maximus, which is the largest muscle in the human body and plays a crucial role in movement, stability, and posture. It is primarily responsible for hip extension, lateral rotation, and abduction of the thigh. The gluteus maximus is well-known for its significance in athletic performance and is often a focal point in discussions about fitness and body aesthetics. Its prominence in various physical activities makes it a key muscle in both strength training and rehabilitation.
The soleus muscle inserts into the posterior calcaneus via the Achilles tendon.
The prominent muscle on the posterior aspect of the lower leg is the gastrocnemius muscle. It is the larger, more superficial muscle of the calf that helps with plantar flexion of the foot, such as when pointing the toes downward.
The trachealis muscle is located on the posterior side of the trachea and allows the esophagus to expand anteriorly during swallowing.
The deltoid muscle is the big muscle on the shoulder. It has three parts; the front or anterior, middle and back or posterior. It involves the shoulder joint.
The muscle that attaches to the dura mater is the rectus capitis posterior minor. It is a small muscle located at the base of the skull and can sometimes be involved in tension-type headaches due to its attachment to the dura mater.
The soleus muscle inserts into the posterior calcaneus via the Achilles tendon.

The posterior arytenoids are called safety muscle because paralysis of the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles may lead to asphyxiation as they are the only laryngeal muscles to open the true vocal folds, allowing inspiration and expiration.
