What else can I help you with?
What muscle group is your scapula from?
The scapula is not a muscle; it is a bone.
Name the origin of the supraspinatus muscle?
The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula.
What is the action of the levitor scapulae muscle?
Raises the scapula at the Scapulothoracic Joint or inclines neck to corresponding side if the scapula is fixed
Which muscle moves the scapula forward?
Serratus Anterior, moves scapula forward.
Which muscle protracts and depresses the scapula?
The serratus anterior muscle protracts and depresses the scapula. It originates on the upper ribs and inserts along the medial border of the scapula. This muscle is important for stabilizing the scapula during movements like pushing and reaching overhead.
Which muscle will depress the scapula or elevate the ribs?
The pectoralis minor originates on the third to the fifth ribs (and elevates ribs). It depresses the scapula (and elevates ribs).
What is the action of the serratus anterior muscle?
Abducts scapula (moves scapula away from spinal column)
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.
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 raises scapula?
Serratus anterior and trapezius
Which muscle is located between the scapula and ribcage?
The serratus anterior muscle is located between the scapula and ribcage. It has a serrated ("saw-like") appearance and is responsible for stabilizing the scapula against the ribcage during arm movements.
Why doesnt the scapula move?
The scapula is a bone that moves as part of the shoulder joint. It is involved in various movements such as rotation, elevation, depression, and retraction to ensure proper function and range of motion of the shoulder. If the scapula appears not to move, it may be due to muscle tightness, weakness, or injury affecting the function of the surrounding muscles and joints.
