Introduction
The muscles of the neck are muscles that cover the neck and they are responsible for the movement of the neck. They consist of:
- anterior
- lateral
- posterior
The trunk is the central part of the body. The head and the limbs are attached to the truck. The trunk muscles depending on their location are divided into:
- anterolateral muscles of the trunk
- posterior muscles of the trunk
Functions of the truck muscles are:
- contribute to the protection of the thoracic and abdominal viscera
- assist essential body activities such as movement, breathing, defecation and micturition.
