Backside
Backside
Backside (pronounced: /ˈbakˌsīd/) is a term used in anatomy to refer to the posterior part of the human body, specifically the area of the buttocks and the lower back.
Etymology
The term "backside" originates from the Old English words "bæc" meaning "back" and "sīde" meaning "side". It has been used in English language since the 15th century to refer to the rear or hind part of something.
Anatomy
The backside is primarily made up of the Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, and Gluteus Minimus muscles, collectively known as the Gluteal Muscles. These muscles play a crucial role in movement and stability of the Pelvis and Hip Joint. The backside also includes the lower part of the Spinal Column, which consists of the lumbar and sacral vertebrae.
