  1. serratus posterior

    The serratus posterior is a muscle group located in the back of the human body, divided into two parts - the serratus posterior superior and serratus posterior inferior. This muscle group plays an essential role in controlling the movements of the rib cage during respiration. The serratus posterior superior, located in the upper back, helps in the elevation of the ribs, thereby aiding in inhalation. On the other hand, the serratus posterior inferior, located in the lower back, draws the lower ribs downwards and backwards, helping in exhalation.
