What part of the humerus forms the lateral contour of the shoulder?
The greater tuberosity of the humerus forms the lateral contour of the shoulder. The supraspinatus muscle attaches at the greater tuberosity.
Which muscle group is primarily worked by the standing lateral raise?
The standing lateral raise primarily works the shoulder muscles.
Where is the deltoid muscle found?
Deltoid tuberosity, a little prominence found midway on the lateral surface of the humerus. Right?
What muscle attaches to a long bone which runs down the lateral aspect of the leg?
The Sartorius muscle - the longest muscle in the human body - is a long thin muscle that runs down the length of the thigh. Its upper portion forms the lateral border of the femoral triangle.
What is a levitator muscle?
A muscle that raises or elevates a part.
What is the shoulder muscle?
which one? there are more than ten muscles that the shoulder uses. assuming you're talking about the big one that contracts when you raise your arm to the side, that's your deltoid. the muscle that is important in shoulder adduction
What muscle elevates the mandible in the human and cat?
the masseter muscle
Where are the origins and insertions of the deltoid muscles?
The deltoid muscle looks like a large "D" covering the shoulder. There are three parts to it: The anterior deltoid which is commonly called front delts, The lateral deltoids or side delts, and the posterior deltoid or rear delts. The anterior deltoid's (front delts') origin is the clavicle, the lateral's (side delts') origin is the acromion process of the scapula and the posterior's (rear delts') origin is the spine of the scapula. The insertion for all is the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus.
What muscle elevates the first two ribs?

What muscle is lateral to the ramus of the mandible?

What does it mean when the term levator is part of the descriptive term for a muscle's action?
The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.
What is the origin and insertion point for the deltoids?
The deltoid is very interesting muscle. It arise from the outer and lateral border of the clavicle and outer and lateral border of the spine of the scapula. From the corresponding inner border, you have insertion of the trapezius muscle. The deltoid muscle is inserted on the deltoid tuberosity on the lateral and middle part of the humerus bone. So it looks that the trapezius muscle continue as the deltoid muscle.
