The Axioappendicular muscles are the muscles that extend between the axial and (superior or inferior) appendicular skeletons. There are two groups, the anterior axioappendicular muscles and the posterior axioappendicular muscles.

Anterior axioappendicular muscles

The anterior axioappendicular muscles are the:

• Pectoralis major
• Pectoralis minor
• Subclavius
• Serratus anterior

Posterior axioappendicular muscles

The posterior axioappendicular muscles are described as two sub-groups:

• Superficial Posterior Axioappendicular muscles (or the extrinsic shoulder muscles)
  • Trapezius
  • Latissimus dorsi
• Deep Posterior Axioappendicular muscles (or the intrinsic shoulder muscles)
  • Levator scapulae
