General and Clinical Anatomy

The dorsal region extends from the skull to the end of the tailbone (Coccyx) and includes the back of the head, the back of the neck, the back of the chest, the back of the abdomen, and the upper buttocks. The back area is important because of its low back pain and spine. When examining the superficial anatomy of the back, the hands should hang loosely along the torso and the shoes should be removed.
