Q

Describe the terms extrinsic vs. intrinsic in terms of the muscles of the back

A

Extrinsic don’t belong to back itself, they originate from outside the back and act on the back

Intrinsic muscles are belonging to or originating in the back itself specifically acting on the vertebral column to produce movements and maintain posture
