Muscle of the Longest Back

The long back muscle is one of the muscles that form the back surface of the human torso. It occupies most of this surface and provides support for the upper body. The long back muscles are involved in many movements, such as raising and lowering the arms, bending the torso, turning the neck, etc. Many people have problems with this muscle, such as spasms or back pain, so it is important to know how to strengthen the long back muscles and monitor their condition. In this article, we'll look at what the long dorsi muscle is, how it works, and how to keep it healthy.

The long back muscle is located on the back side of the body, starting from the occipital bone and running down to the base of the pelvis. This muscle consists of two long muscles: the long paraspinal muscle and the vastus longus muscle. Both muscles are intertwined together and are located between the spine and the skin. The main function of the dorsi longus muscle is to maintain balance and elevate the upper limbs.



Longissimus dorsi muscle or m. longissus dorsi (lat.) - a large back muscle lying in the posterior part of the spinal canal. It starts from the transverse processes of the thoracic vertebrae and ends at the iliac crest. Consists of the posterior part of the latissimus dorsi muscle and the inner layer of the psoas muscle. Between the muscle and the spine there is a thick layer of loose fiber. The lower end of the muscle fuses with the lateral edge of the sacrum
