Summary Introduction

To review:

The muscles present in the vertebral column involve many posterior extensors, but some anterior flexors.

Introduction:

The muscle of the vertebral column includes a higher number of posterior extensors compare to the anterior flexors. These are divided into extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the back. Extrinsic muscles perform the function of shoulder movement whereas intrinsic muscle acts upon the back.

The primary action of the biceps brachii muscle of the anterior arm is to flex the forearm at the elbow. However, when this muscle is inflamed, pain is felt in the shoulder. Why do you think this is so?
