What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The subscapularis muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus. Its function is to rotate the head of the humerus medially.
What is the depression on the ulna into which the humerus inserts?
olecranon fossa
What bone do the muscles of the rotator cuff originate?
The rotator cuff muscles are referred to occasionally as the SITS muscles. The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and the subscapularis. The Supras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Infras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(greater tubercle. The Teres minor originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Subscapularis originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(lesser tubercle). The function of this muscle group is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Hope this helps.
What muscle flexes the elbow but neither originates nor inserts on the humerus?
The biceps brachii muscle.
What muscle is used to extend the forearm?
Triceps Brachii - it is the only muscle fleshing out the posterior humerus; its three heads arise from the shoulder girdle and proximal humerus, and it inserts into the olecranon process of the ulna. It is a powerful prime mover of elbow extension.triceps brachii
What bone is the semimembranosus connected to?
The semimebranosus is part of the hamstring group and originates at the ischial tuberosity and inserts into the proximal tibia.
What muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and inserts onto the coronoid process of the ulna to cause arm reflexion?
The brachialis muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and insert at the coronoid process. The function of the brachialis is flexion at the elbow.
What is the large broad sheet of muscle that originates along the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae and inserts upon the humerus?
Latissimus dorsi
What is the large broad sheet of muscle that originates along the thoracic and lumbar vertebra and inserts upon the humerus?

What muscle originates from the anterior inferior iliac spine of the hip and inserts onto the proximal end of the tibia?
rectus femoris
What large muscle originates along the sternum and inserts onto the humerus?
You have the pectoralis major muscle in the chest wall. It arise from the sternum and the clavicle. It is inserted on the lateral part of the bicipital groove.
Does the biceps brachii muscle originate or insert on the humerus?
It inserts onto the humerus. It originates from the coracoid process of the scapula. There are 2 parts - Long head and short head. The long head is connected to the coracoid process by a tendon that comes up between the tubercules of the humerous. The short head is connected directly to the humerus.
