these include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicus muscles. When acting bilaterally these muscles extend the head and neck. when they only act on one side the laterally flex and rotate the head and cervical spine the the same side as the muscle. the sternocleidomastoid is also responsible fro rotating the skull to the opposite side and lateral flexion of the cervical spine on the same side as the muscle. (these muscles are bilateral which means they are on both sides of your body , left and right)

What are abdominal muscles made of?
Abdominal muscles are trunk muscles that help to rotate and flex the spine. The abdominal muscles are composed of:Rectus abdominus: originates at the pelvis and inserts into the sternum as well as ribs 5-7. This muscle flexes the spine or assists in posteriorly (behind or in back of) tilting the pelvis.External obliques: one of the abdominal muscles responsible for rotation and flexion (position that is flexed relative to neutral or extension) of the spine. Developing external oblique strength is important for spinal stabilization against movement faults.Internal obliques: one of the abdominal muscles responsible for rotation and flexion of the spine. Developing internal oblique strength is important for spinal stabilization against movement faults.Transversus abdominus: an important spinal-stabilizing muscle
