What muscle moves the scapulae forward and rotate scapula upward?
The Serratus Anterior moves the scapula forward and rotates it upward.
Moves the scapula forward and downward?
Pectoralis Minor
What is the action of the serratus anterior muscle?
Abducts scapula (moves scapula away from spinal column)
What muscle group is your scapula from?
The scapula is not a muscle; it is a bone.
What muscle raises ribs in forceful inhalation or pulls scapula forward and downward?
Rhomboid Major
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
What muscle moves the scapula forward and rotates scapula upward?
You can't have one muscle that both elevates AND depresses a bone. So your question is a little confusing, Upward rotation: Serratus anterior, Upper and lower fibers of trapezius Retraction (adduction): Middle fibers of trapezius, rhomboid major and minor Elevation: Upper fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and minor Depression: Lower fibers of trapezius Let me know if I left any out but this should be all of them! Trevor .............................. the above answer is incomplete........ The trapezius is antagonist to itself, in that it can both elevate and depress the scapula
What is the action of the serratus anterior?
Abducts scapula (moves scapula away from spinal 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.
Does the deltoid muscle act to adduct the arm at the shoulder?
Yes. Deltoid (Delta like.) is the prime mover of arm. It moves shoulder joint in forward, backward and laterally. It is a continuation ofTrapeziusmuscle. It is 'not' mentioned in any anatomy books. But you can verify it. Trapezius is inserted in inner side of clavicle and spine of scapula and from outer side of the same Deltoid muscle starts.
What does the trapezius move?
Scapula, and the Lateral 3rd of the Clavicle.
What muscle raises scapula?
Serratus anterior and trapezius
