Scapula is the scientific term for shoulder blade. It provides a foundation for the attachments of the muscles that move the arm.There are many functions of the scapula. It forms part of the shoulder girdle and many (16) muscles are associated with it.The actions that the muscles have on it include: elevation (shrugging), depression (slumping), abduction, adduction, rotation, and tipping.The scapula omo (shoulder blade) is the bone which connects the humerous (arm bone) to the clavicle (collar bone) Movements of the scapula are brought about by scapular muscles: Elevation, Depression, Protraction, Retraction, Lateral rotation, Medial rotation, Upward Rotation, Downward Rotation, Anterior Tipping, and Posterior Tipping
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.
Does the trapezius contract?
Trapezius muscle- located from the skull through the cervical and thoracic vertebrae to the lateral 1/3 of the clavicle and spine of scapula. Function: Elevates, Depresses, Retracts, and rotates the scapula up and down. Innervated by the Spinal Accessory Nerve
How does the stretch reflex cause the quadriceps femoris muscle group to contract?
Tapping on the patellar tendon stretches receptors called the muscle spindles in the quadriceps muscle group of the anterior thigh. This stimulus evokes a rapid motor reflex to contract the quadriceps and shorten the muscles. This process is called the patellar reflex.
Does proprioception deficit cause muscle twitching?

Can high stress cause an anterior infarction?
Yes, high stress can contribute to the development of an anterior infarction (heart attack). Stress can lead to an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, which in turn can strain the heart muscle and potentially trigger a heart attack, particularly in individuals with preexisting heart conditions. It is important to manage stress levels for overall heart health.
