They are composed of muscle that attaches to the costal cartilages and bone of ribs 4 through 7 and xiphoid to the posterior, inferior occipital bone, anterior, inferior mandible and coracoid process of scapula.
The brachial chain muscle on the left is opposed by the left posterior back muscles (PEC), lower trap, serratus anterior, external rib rotators, and right internal abdominal obliques.
This created torque on soft tissue, secondary to movement on an imbalanced foundational structure, usually results in chronic muscle overuse, inflammation and pain, such as one would see in someone diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

The oblique arytenoid muscle (arytenoideus obliqus) originates from the muscular process of the arytenoid cartilage and inserts into the summit of the arytenoid cartilage of the opposite side and into the aryepiglottic fold.
By flexing or relaxing the cricoarytenoid muscles, the arytenoid cartilages are forced to pivot, causing the vocal cords to be brought together for speech or separated, for breathing.
The oblique arytenoid muscle is innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Three primary extensors are the trapezius, the splenius capitis, and the semispinalis capitis.
The lungs are ventilated primarily by the diaphragm, which forms the floor of the thoracic cavity; 11 pairs of external intercostal muscles between the ribs; and 11 pairs of internal intercostal muscles between the ribs deep to the external intercostals.
The anterior and lateral walls of the abdomen have four pairs of sheetlike muscles that support the viscera, stabilize the vertebral column, and aid in respiration, urination, defecation, vomiting, and childbirth: the rectus abdominis, the external and internal obliques, and the transversus abdominis.

The fibers of the internal oblique muscle originate from the thoracolumbar fascia, the iliac crest and the lateral half of the inguinal ligament.

The antagonists to these muscles are the longi capitis which pass from the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th transverse processes to the inferior surface of the occipital bone, anterior to the foramen magnum.
Anatomically it should be possible to arrive at a measure, primarily in a crude degree, of the physiological relationship that ought to exist between the skull and the atlas, and atlas and axis, by an examination of the articular facets of cadavres related to living postural antecedents.
Passing down the spine, the semispinalis capitis muscles pass from the transverse processes of the upper six thoracic, and the articular processes of the lower four cervical vertebrae to be inserted into the medial impression on each side between the superior and inferior nuchal lines of the occipital bone.

Trunk extension is accomplished by concentric contraction of the spinalis, longissimus, and iliocostalis of the erector spinae group, as well as the interspinale, intertransversarii, and transversospinalis of the deep posterior spinal group.
The quadratus lumborum, external oblique, and internal oblique are the prime movers for lateral bending of the trunk at the hip.
The inferior radioulnar joint, located at the distal end of the forearm, is in a semiprone position throughout the entire ice climbing activity.

Myers explains that while jumping from the anterior inferior iliac spine to our next stop - the rectus abdominis - breaks the fascial continuity rule, a mechanical continuity exists between the rectus femoris and rectus abdominis via the hip bone, thereby allowing the leap when considering movements in the sagittal plane, like flexion and extension.
This track begins on the mastoid process with the splenius capitis muscle which wraps the erector spinae before connecting to the lower cervicals and upper thoracics.
Picking up the fibers of the external oblique, the line moves across the abdominal aponeuroses, through the linea alba and over to the opposite anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS).

What's created here is the first of a series of diamonds, or Xs, of the lateral line -- three along each side of the rib cage, crossing between the tensor fasciae latae and the superior fibers of the gluteus maximus, and the lateral portions of external and internal oblique muscles.
Above the shoulder, we find another cross -- the SCM and the splenius capitis helping to determine head position relative to the thorax.

Frequently, limb motion is powered or counterbalanced by the opposite side - think of a baseball pitcher as he powers a throw from the right hand with the left foot.
