Serratus anterior
What muscles is the prime mover to protract scapula?
By protraction, I assume that you mean shifting (rotating) the shoulder girdle anteriorly, which involves moving the scalula away from the spine (such as is requires when reaching forward). This motion requires movement at the sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and coracoclavicular joints, and is performed by actions of the serratus anterior, pectoralis minor and pectoralis major.The opposite movement, retraction, is backward movement of the shoulder girdle, and involves moving the scapula back toward the spine. Trapezius (middle and lower fibers), rhomboids and latissimus dorsiare responsible for retraction.
Name the primary flexors of the shoulder joint?
Pectoralis major sternocostal part and anterior fibres of Deltoid
