latissimus dorsi
The latissimus dorsi 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. It is responsible for the extension, adduction, horizontal adduction, flexion from an extended position, and internal rotation of the shoulder joint. It also has a synergistic role in the extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine. In simple terms, it is one of the major muscles used in pulling and lifting movements.
