DescriptionUnreviewed
Some definitions oppose hypaxial and epaxial muscles as being ventral/dorsal to the vertebral septum.
The term 'Epaxial muscles of back' appeared in the second edition of the Terminologia Anatomica (TA2-2019) and does not correspond to this definition.
As no definition has been found, here is the list of hypaxial muscles:
- Suboccipital muscles
- Erector spinae
- Spinotransversales muscles
- Transversospinal muscles
- Interspinales muscles
- Intertransversarii muscles
