What else can I help you with?
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?
The primary muscle responsible for moving the scapula forward and downward is the serratus anterior. This muscle originates along the upper eight or nine ribs and inserts along the inner border of the scapula. Contraction of the serratus anterior pulls the scapula forward and downward along the ribcage.
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.
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
A flat thoracic muscle deep to the pectoralis major that acts to draw the scapula inferiorly or to elevate the rib cage?
The muscle described is likely the serratus anterior. It originates on the surface of the upper ribs and inserts along the scapula. Its primary functions include protraction of the scapula (bringing it forward around the ribcage) and upward rotation of the scapula.
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
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)
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.
