The function/role for the trapezius is for moving your head sideways and for shrugging your shoulders.
A good exercise to strengthen the traps. is to do the upper trap stretch. Sit on a chair and then put your left hand behind you. Tilt your head so your right ear moves to your right shoulder and then just repeat.

How does a human trapezius differ from a pig trapezius?
The human trapezius muscle is typically larger and more developed than a pig's trapezius due to differences in anatomy and function between the two species. Additionally, the attachment points and muscle fiber composition may vary between humans and pigs.
What is the function of the lower trapezius muscle in the human body?
The lower trapezius muscle helps stabilize and move the shoulder blades, supporting proper posture and shoulder movement.
What trunk muscle allows you to elevate your shoulder?
The trapezius muscle allows you to elevate your shoulder. The trapezius muscle resembles a diamond-shaped quadrilateral. Its main function is to stabilize and move the scapula.
What two muscles that protect the scapula?
Retraction= Middle trapezius Elevation= Upper trapezius
Which muscle pulls the shoulder backward and downward?

What are the three muscles that correspond to single trapezius in humans?
The trapezius muscle in humans is a single, large muscle divided into three specific regions based on their functions: the upper trapezius, middle trapezius, and lower trapezius. Each region of the trapezius muscle contributes to different movements of the shoulder and neck.

What muscle is used when shrugging your shoulders?
A number of muscles are involved in shrugging your shoulders, including the latissiumus dorsi, the deltoids, the rhomboids, the scapular muscles, the biceps, the triceps, among others.

What muscle moves the scapula forward and rotates scapula upward?
You can't have one muscle that both elevates AND depresses a bone. So your question is a little confusing, Upward rotation: Serratus anterior, Upper and lower fibers of trapezius Retraction (adduction): Middle fibers of trapezius, rhomboid major and minor Elevation: Upper fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and minor Depression: Lower fibers of trapezius Let me know if I left any out but this should be all of them! Trevor .............................. the above answer is incomplete........ The trapezius is antagonist to itself, in that it can both elevate and depress the scapula
