I would say that the rectus abdominis would be the main muscle associated with trunk flexion, but the external and internal obliques also perform trunk flexion.
There are four deltoid muscles in the body. Anterior and posterior left. Anterior and posterior right.
The two functional characteristics used to classify muscles into classes are agonist and antagonist. Agonist muscles are responsible for causing movement, while antagonist muscles work in opposition to the agonist to help control the movement.
Active Exhalation a.k.a. Forced Expiration - Accessory muscles are used to assist passive forces Accessory muscles used: INTERNAL RIB CAGE MUSCLES- 1. Internal Intercostals 2. Transversus Thoracis 3. Subcostals EXTERNAL RIB CAGE MUSCLES- 1.Serratus Posterior Inferior 2.Quadratus Lomborum ABDOMINAL MUSCLES- 1. Rectus Abdominis 2. External Oblique 3. Internal Oblique 4. Transversus Abdominis Hope this helps :D
Muscles Mostly Used; ( Running) Gluteals. Max,min, and medius Quadriceps:Rectus Femoris. Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius Lower Leg;Tibialis Anterior Hamstrings:Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus,Semimembranosus Calve muscles : Gastrocnemius and Soleus (Throwing)Internal rotators and flexors of the shoulder, extensors of the elbow
There are over 600 muscles in the human body. These muscles are responsible for various functions such as movement, posture, and internal organ support.
The two lateral ankle muscles that create plantar flexion and eversion of the foot are the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis.
Elephants have over 100,000 muscles in their trunk. Elephant trunks can suck in over 2 gallons of water. Trunks are the largest type of nose.

There are four deltoid muscles in the body. Anterior and posterior left. Anterior and posterior right.
The Trunk Muscles include, 1) those that move the vertebral column ( most of which are posterior antigravity muscles); 2) anterior thorax muscles, which move the ribs, head and arms; 3) muscles of the abdominal wall, which help move the vertebral column and most importantly form the muscular natural girdle of the abdominal wall.
To perform a neck flexion stretch, sit or stand tall, gently lower your chin towards your chest, feeling a stretch in the back of your neck. Hold for 15-30 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat 2-3 times. This stretch can help relieve tension and improve flexibility in the neck muscles.
At least 2 muscles would be required in order to allow for flexion and extension of that joint. If there was only one muscle (in this case lets say a flexor), you could flex the joint, but would not be able to straighten the joint back out.
In addition to shrugs, which indirectly hit the muscles at the back of the neck, all you need to work your neck at the gym or at home are your own hands and the dynamic resistance they can provide. Perform the following four movements as a minicircuit, progressing as follows: front, left side, right side, reverse. Take a one- to two-minute break, then repeat. Perform 12 to 15 reps in each direction. THE EXERCISES 1. FRONT FLEXION (front neck muscles) Sit or stand in a neutral position with your head directly over your shoulders and a slight arch in your lower back. Keeping your shoulders level, place both hands against your forehead (1a). Press backward with your hands while pressing forward with your neck muscles until your forehead is facing the floor (1b). Slowly press backward with your hands until your forehead is almost facing the ceiling and repeat. 2. LEFT LATERAL FLEXION (side neck muscles) Maintaining the seated position, place your left hand on the left side of your head (2a) and press your left ear toward your left shoulder while resisting with your neck muscles. Continue until your right ear is almost pointing at the ceiling (2b) and repeat. 3. RIGHT LATERAL FLEXION (side neck muscles) Maintaining the seated position, place your right hand on the right side of your head (3a) and press your right ear toward your right shoulder while resisting with your neck muscles. Continue until your left ear is almost pointing at the ceiling (3b) and repeat. 4. REAR FLEXION (rear neck muscles) Maintaining the seated position, place both hands on the back of your head (4a). Press forward with your hands while pressing backward with your neck muscles until your forehead is almost facing the ceiling (4b). Slowly press forward with your hands until your forehead is almost facing the ground and repeat.

The two functional characteristics used to classify muscles into classes are agonist and antagonist. Agonist muscles are responsible for causing movement, while antagonist muscles work in opposition to the agonist to help control the movement.
A lot of muscles get involved. 1. Thighs 2. Back 3. Abdomen. 4. Shoulders
the fundamental positions are: 1. head & trunk bending 2. head & trunk wasting 3. head & trunk crustling
