Glossary Anatomy / Term
The human back, also called the dorsum, is the large posterior area of the human body, rising from the top of the buttocks to the back of the neck.[1] It is the surface of the body opposite from the chest. The vertebral column runs the length of the back and creates a central area of recession. The breadth of the back is created by the shoulders at the top and the pelvis at the bottom.
