MEDICAL NAME FOR YOUR BUTT 



'Butt' actually comes from the official medical term for you bum, buttocks.

​

Butt cheeks are each comprised of two big muscles - the gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus. For this reason, doctors will also refer to your bum as your 'glutes'.

​

The hole in the middle of your glutes is medically called the anus.

​

The buttocks serves three important roles in humans: the fat layer padding serves to make sitting comfortable, the large gluteus muscles provide a large contribution to your propulsion during walking, and it is the end of the digestive conduit.
