Trunk Wall: Muscle Charts: Cheat Sheet (English Terminology)

The trunk (torso) is the central part of the body to which the head and the limbs are attached. Except for the brain, the trunk houses all the vital organs of the human body.

• anterolateral muscles of the trunk
• posterior muscles of the trunk
