Uberon Taxon note : The hypaxial muscles are located on the lower side of the body, often below the horizontal
septum in many species (primarily fish and amphibians). In amniotes, the positional
distinctions have been lost as the body's muscles have changed through evolution,
but in all species, the hypaxial muscles are innervated by the ventral ramus of the
spinal nerves, while the epaxial muscles are innervated by the dorsal ramus.;
