This depression is called as sub scapular fossa. Scapula is fitted on convex surface of the chest wall. That is why this surface of the scapula has got depression.

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 strongest protractor of the scapula?
Serratus anterior
What is the large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula?
Suprascapular Fossa
Which muscle acts as a synergist with pectoralis minor during abduction of scapula?
Serratus Anterior
Name the depression between the two ventricles seen on the anterior surface of the heart?
Interventricular groove or Sulcus
Which muscle moves the scapula forward?
Serratus Anterior, moves scapula forward.
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 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)
What is the strongest protractor of the scapula?
Serratus anterior
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 muscle raises scapula?
Serratus anterior and trapezius
What is the large fossa of the anterior aspect of the scapula?
Suprascapular Fossa
What muscle moves the scapulae forward and rotate scapula upward?
The Serratus Anterior moves the scapula forward and rotates it upward.
Which muscle is responsible for holding the scapula on the chest wall?
Serratus Anterior
What muscles is responsible for the movement of scapula depression?
The movement of the scapula is largely determined by the position of the shoulder girdle as a whole. As a "floating bone" the scapula is often at the mercy of the more fixed extremities and can be acted upon by several different muscles simultaneously. That being said, the prime mover responsible for scapular depression is the trapezius (specifically the lower fibers). Other muscles which act as stabilizers or synergists in scapular depression and eventual scapular protraction are the subscapularis, the serratus anterior and the lower fibers of latissimus dorsi.
