No, the trapezius is not an abductor. It is a large muscle that extends from the back of the neck down to the mid-back and across the shoulders. Its primary functions include stabilizing, raising, and retracting the scapula, as well as extending the neck. Abduction typically refers to the movement of limbs away from the body's midline, which is not a primary role of the trapezius.
