For December 2023, several of us are participating in the “30-Day ANATOMY Coach4aday Challenge.” My choice today is the LATISSIMUS Dorsi.
During this challenge, the participants select a bone or muscle in the human body, providing details about its location and physiological significance.
How the Challenge Works
- Identify one anatomical part of the body.

Identify Your Choice
My muscle choice today is the Latissimus Dorsi.
Purpose
This muscle extends, adducts and medially rotates the upper limb.
Location
It is a large muscle in your back. It’s commonly known as the “lats.” These muscles are broad and fan-shaped, covering the lower and middle part of your back. When you engage your lats, like when you pull something towards you or do a pull-up, you’re using the latissimus dorsi muscles. They play a significant role in various movements involving your arms and shoulders.
