Understand the Problem
The question is asking about anatomical landmarks on the femur and specifically which one is the main attachment site for the gluteus maximus muscle. It is presenting multiple-choice options related to femoral anatomy.
Answer
Gluteal tuberosity
The final answer is Gluteal tuberosity
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Gluteal tuberosity
More Information
The gluteal tuberosity is a bony prominence on the femur that serves as the primary attachment site for the gluteus maximus, the largest muscle in the gluteal region.
Tips
One common mistake might be confusing the gluteal tuberosity with the greater trochanter, another site where some gluteal muscles attach, but not the primary site for the gluteus maximus.
