The muscles primarily responsible for rotating the torso side to side are the external and internal obliques. These muscles are located on the sides of the abdomen and work together to facilitate trunk rotation and lateral flexion. Additionally, the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis contribute to core stability during these movements. Together, they enable effective rotational movements essential for various physical activities.

What muscle allows you to look up?
The splenius capitis muscle allows you to look up. This muscle is located at the back of the neck and helps to extend and rotate the head.
Does the sternocleidomastoid rotate to same side?
The sternocleidomastoid muscle primarily rotates the head to the opposite side. When one side of the sternocleidomastoid contracts, it causes rotation of the head towards the opposite side while also tilting it to the same side. However, if both sides contract together, they flex the neck forward. Thus, the muscle does not rotate the head to the same side; that action is performed by other muscles.
What is located on the posterior side of the trachea and allows the esophagus to expand anteriorly during swallowing?
The trachealis muscle is located on the posterior side of the trachea and allows the esophagus to expand anteriorly during swallowing.
Does the sternomastoid muscle muscle control head movement?
The stenrocleidomastoid muscle bilaterally does neck extension, while unilaterally, they laterally flex the Neck to the same side of the muscle contracting, and rotates th neck to the contra lateral side. So if you rotate to the left, the right sternocleidomastoid muscle is working. The right stenrocleidomastoid will also cause right lateral flexion( side bending)
What is the function of the sternocleidomastiod muscle?
The sternocleidomastoid muscle, also known as sternomastoid and comonly abbreviated as SCM, is a paired muscle in the superficial layers of the anterior portion of the neck. It acts to flex and rotate the head.

What is antagonist to the teres minor?
The teres major muscle is considered to be antagonistic to the teres minor muscle. The teres major muscle is a larger muscle located in the upper arm that works to extend, medially rotate, and adduct the arm, while the teres minor muscle is a smaller muscle that works to laterally rotate the arm.
What in the neck allows rotation from side to side?
