The trapezius[4] is a large paired trapezoid -shaped surface muscle that extends longitudinally from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae of the spine and laterally to the spine of the scapula. It moves the scapula and supports the arm. The trapezius has three functional parts:
Face pull (exercise) The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
A pull-up is an upper-body strength exercise. The pull-up is a closed-chain movement where the body is suspended by the hands, gripping a bar or other implement at a distance typically wider than shoulder-width, and pulled up. As this happens, the elbows flex and the shoulders adduct and extend to bring the elbows to the torso.
v. t. e. The accessory nerve, also known as the eleventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve XI, or simply CN XI, is a cranial nerve that supplies the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles. It is classified as the eleventh of twelve pairs of cranial nerves because part of it was formerly believed to originate in the brain.

The rhomboid muscles (/ ˈrɒmbɔɪd /), often simply called the rhomboids, are rhombus -shaped muscles associated with the scapula. There are two rhomboid muscles on each side of the upper back: [1][2][3] Rhomboid major muscle. Rhomboid minor muscle. The large rhombus-shaped muscle, located under the trapezius muscle, in the upper part of the ...
The pull-down exercise is a strength training exercise designed to develop the latissimus dorsi muscle. It performs the functions of downward rotation and depression of the scapulae combined with adduction and extension of the shoulder joint. The cable lat pull-down is done where the handle is moved via a cable pulley, as opposed to doing pull ...
The latissimus dorsi (/ ləˈtɪsɪməs ˈdɔːrsaɪ /) is a large, flat muscle on the back that stretches to the sides, behind the arm, and is partly covered by the trapezius on the back near the midline. The word latissimus dorsi (plural: latissimi dorsi) comes from Latin and means "broadest [muscle] of the back", from "latissimus" (Latin ...
