Regions of the back and buttocks (English)

The back and buttocks present several distinct topographical regions which are named according to their relations with underlying structures. The nine regions of the back are the deltoid, suprascapular, scapular, interscapular, infrascapular, vertebral, lumbar and sacral regions and the triangle of auscultation. The buttocks can be similarly classified into gluteal, anal and coccygeal regions.
