How do pull ups use back muscles?

I know that exercises like pull ups and chin ups incorporate your back muscle but I don’t understand how. Your arms are doing the whole movement of lifting you up.

Downward rotation of scapulothoracic joint (scapula movement against rib cage), adduction of glenohumeral joint (shoulder) both use muscles on your back. You can google these separately to find more detailed answers about which exact muscles will be activated.
