The heart and many others.
The scapula is not a muscle; it is a bone.
The supraspinatus muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula.
Raises the scapula at the Scapulothoracic Joint or inclines neck to corresponding side if the scapula is fixed
Serratus Anterior, moves scapula forward.
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.
The pectoralis minor originates on the third to the fifth ribs (and elevates ribs). It depresses the scapula (and elevates ribs).
Abducts scapula (moves scapula away from spinal column)
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.
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.
Serratus anterior and trapezius
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.
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.
