When you perform a pull up on the bar, what are the field muscles that are utilised and exercised?

Pull ups target the latissimus dorsi muscle group in the back. Many other muscles are involved likewise --such as the brachialis, brachioradialis, biceps brachii, teres major, deltoid muscle, infraspinatus, teres minor, rhomboids, levator scapulae, trapezius lower, trapezius middle, and pectoralis minor.
