Which muscle is attached to the vertebral edge of the scapula?
Posterioly there are the Rhomboideus major and minor and levator scapula. While anteriorly is the upper three digitations of serratus anterior.
What muscle is used to thrust shoulder anteriorly when pushing something?
serratus anterior
What muscle moves the scapulae forward and rotate scapula upward?
The Serratus Anterior moves the scapula forward and rotates it upward.
What Muscle adducts and rotates the scapula laterally?
Name of the muscle is trapezious. It has an extensive origin from spines of verebral column.
How does serratus anterior function as an antagonist to the rhomboideus muscles?
The serratus anterior is responsible for the protraction of the scapula. It pulls the scapula forward and around the rib cage, like when someone throws a punch. Often referred to as the "boxer's muscle". It is also responsible for stabilizing the scapula and assisting in its rotation upward.
What trunk muscle allows you to elevate your shoulder?
The trapezius muscle allows you to elevate your shoulder. The trapezius muscle resembles a diamond-shaped quadrilateral. Its main function is to stabilize and move the scapula.
What 4 muscles are used to prevent movement of a broken clavicle?
There are actually more than 4 muscles that should be immobilized. When you move your shoulders you move your clavicle. The muscles that causes movement at the shoulder joint should be immobilized. This includes the prime movers, as well as the assistant movers. The following muscles should be immobile. The subclavius which moves and depresses the clavicle as well as helps stabilize the pectoral girdle. The pectoralis minorabduct the scapula and rotates it downward, lowering your shoulders. The serratus anterior abducts the scapula and cause it to rotate upward, shrugging your shoulders. The trapezius stabilizes the scapula as well as move it, and helps extend head. The levator scapulae elevates the scapula and rotates it downward. The rhomboid majorelevates, adducts, rotates downward, and stabilizes the scapula. The Rhomboid minor does the same thing as the Rhomboid major. The pectoralis major adducts and medially rotates the arm at the shoulder joint; flexes arm at the clavicular head and extends the arm to the side of the trunk at the sternocostal head. The deltoid abducts the arm at the shoulder joint; flex and medially rotates the arm at shoulder joint; and extend and laterally rotates the arm at shoulder joint. The subscapularis medially rotates the arm at shoulder joint. The supraspinatus assists the deltoid muscle to abduct the arm at the should joint. The infraspinatuslaterally rotates and abducts the arm at the shoulder joint. The teres major extends the arm at the shoulder joint and assists in the adduction and medial rotation of the arm at the shoulder joint. The teres minor laterally rotates, extends, and adducts the arm at the shoulder joint. The coracobrachialis flexes and adducts the arm at the should joint.
What is the muscle that pulls the scapula medially?
The subscapularis muscle medially rotates the scapula. The muscle is innervated by the upper and lower subscapular nerves.
What are facts about the scapula?
Scapula The Scapula is a Latin word meaning "Blade".so instead of saying the "shoulder scapula" you could say "shoulder blade." The scapula is the second shoulder bone in the 206 bones in the human body. The scapula is a wider flat bone at the back of the shoulder. The Scapula is also held in place by the end of the clavicle that is not connected to that thorax. The triceps muscle Starts on the scapula and runs down the back of the upper arm to the lower end of the humerous bone, which is the third bone in the shoulder. That muscle allows the arm to move back and forth. Two of the most important shoulder tendons are the rhomboid major and the rhomboid minor, they both attach to the scapula to help the shoulder bone move in or out. Another major tendon in the human body is the levator scapulae which does the same thing except…it helps raise and lower the scapula and the muscle around the scapula. There is also the rotary cuff which is a group of four muscles that run from the scapula to the humerous. The main job of that is to keep the shoulder girdle stable. If that girdle breaks or tears you will not be able to move your arm freely most of the time it will heal w/ lots of rest but in a much milder case you may need surgery. Another incident containing the ligaments is called shoulder separation, shoulder separation is the stretching or tearing of the ligaments at the end of the clavicle which would make it no longer attach to the scapula.
What muscle group is your scapula from?
The scapula is not a muscle; it is a bone.
What does the pectoralis do?
depresses the point of the shoulder, drawing the scapula inferior and medial, towards the thorax, and throwing its inferior angle posteriorly.
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
