What muscle inserts on the greater tubercle of humerus?
supraspinatus
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 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.
What bones are involved in pull ups?

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 muscle originates on scapula and proximal humerus and inserts on olecranon process?
The triceps originates on the scapula and proximal humerus and inserts on the olecranon process. The muscles has three heads (hence its name) so it has multiple origins.

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.
