Relationship Formation

40.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Muscles that Move the Thigh01:20

Muscles that Move the Thigh

1.2K
The thigh's motion is primarily governed by muscles originating in the pelvic girdle and inserted into the femur. One crucial muscle, the iliopsoas, is a combination of the psoas major and the iliacus muscles, sharing a common insertion point on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar...

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

314
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum

1.7K
The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...

Muscles of the Abdomen

1.8K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

9.2K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • The aesthetic ideals for male buttocks lack clear definition.
  • Crowdsourced analysis was employed to establish a consensus on the ideal male gluteal form.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the preferred aesthetic characteristics of the male buttocks.
  • To identify key anthropometric ratios and features associated with gluteal attractiveness in men.

Main Methods:

  • A large-scale online survey was conducted using Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk).
  • Respondents rated digitally altered images of male buttocks on attractiveness.
  • Demographic data and interest in gluteal augmentation were collected.

Main Results:

  • A preferred male gluteal aesthetic was identified, characterized by specific ratios and contours.
  • Key metrics include a lateral ratio of 1.18, an oblique angle of 60 degrees, and a posterior waist-to-hip ratio of 0.66.
  • Moderate gluteal projection, narrow width, and defined trochanteric depressions were favored; loss of depression decreased scores. Differences were noted across demographic subgroups, but not by respondent sex.

Conclusions:

  • A distinct preference for male gluteal aesthetics exists, favoring projection and contour with narrowness and defined depressions.
  • These findings can inform and guide the development of male gluteal contouring techniques in aesthetic surgery.
