The muscles of the back and neck are organized in multiple layers — each serving a specific function in movement and posture. This exploded 3D view separates and highlights key groups: The superficial muscles (like trapezius and latissimus dorsi) move the shoulders and spine The intermediate muscles (like rhomboids and serratus posterior) support scapular positioning The deep muscles (like the erector spinae, semispinalis, and multifidus) stabilize and extend the spine This animation offers a cl

💪 The Back Muscles: Layers of Strength 💪 Your back is a powerhouse of interconnected muscles, providing movement, posture, and stability: 🔹 Superficial Muscles: Trapezius: Moves the shoulder blades and supports the arms. Latissimus Dorsi: Aids in extending, adducting, and rotating the arm. 🔹 Intermediate Muscles: Rhomboids: Stabilize and retract the scapula. Levator Scapulae: Elevates the shoulder blade and supports neck movements. 🔹 Deep Muscles: Erector Spinae: Helps maintain posture and
