The Back
- The shoulder blades are symmetrically distributed on each side of the backbone, or spine, in the upper region of the back.
- The loins are located in the lower region of the back.
Learn about the structure and components of the neck and trunk, including the cervical vertebrae and the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. Understand the important organs, blood vessels, and nerves located in these regions.
