What else can I help you with?
What is the strongest protractor of the scapula?
The strongest protractor of the scapula is the serratus anterior muscle. It originates from the upper ribs and inserts along the medial border of the scapula. Contraction of the serratus anterior muscle pulls the scapula forward around the rib cage.
What is the large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula?
The large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and provides attachment for the subscapularis muscle, which is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff in the shoulder.
What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The muscle you are referring to is the subscapularis muscle. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It is responsible for medial rotation of the shoulder joint.
Is the subscapular fossa located anterior or posterior to the supraspinatus and infraspinarus fossae?
The subscapular fossa is located anterior to the supraspinatus and infraspinatus fossae on the scapula.
Moves the scapula forward and downward?
The primary muscle responsible for moving the scapula forward and downward is the serratus anterior. This muscle originates along the upper eight or nine ribs and inserts along the inner border of the scapula. Contraction of the serratus anterior pulls the scapula forward and downward along the ribcage.
What is the strongest protractor of the scapula?
The strongest protractor of the scapula is the serratus anterior muscle. It originates from the upper ribs and inserts along the medial border of the scapula. Contraction of the serratus anterior muscle pulls the scapula forward around the rib cage.
Is the clavicle anterior or posterior compared with the scapular?
100 percent anterior
Which muscle moves the scapula forward?
Serratus Anterior, moves scapula forward.
What is the nose in relation to the scapula in directional terminology?
The nose is anterior to the scapula.
What muscle cause anterior tipping of scapula?
lower trapezius, serratus anterior
What is the action of the serratus anterior?
Abducts scapula (moves scapula away from spinal column)
Which muscle is the stabilizer synergist agonist and antagonist in scapula elevetion and depression?
hm...if I had to take a wild guess....I would guess serratus anterior and pec minor.
What is the action of the serratus anterior muscle?
Abducts scapula (moves scapula away from spinal column)
What is the large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula?
The large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and provides attachment for the subscapularis muscle, which is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff in the shoulder.
What muscle raises scapula?
Serratus anterior and trapezius
Which muscle is responsible for holding the scapula on the chest wall?
The Serratus Anterior muscle is responsible for holding the scapula against the chest wall. It helps stabilize the scapula and is important for proper shoulder movement and function.
What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The muscle you are referring to is the subscapularis muscle. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It is responsible for medial rotation of the shoulder joint.
