This guide details the anatomy and function of key muscles located in the neck, chest, and abdominal regions. Highlighted muscles include the sternocleidomastoid, splenius capitis, trapezius, rhomboideus major, levator scapulae, serratus anterior, pectoralis minor, and the abdominal wall muscles. Each muscle's origin, insertion, and action are discussed, emphasizing how they contribute to head movement, shoulder stability, scapula motion, and torso rotation. This information is essential for understanding human anatomy, particularly for students and health professionals.
