What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The subscapularis muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus. Its function is to rotate the head of the humerus medially.
What muscle has an attachment on the superior facet of greater tubercle of humerus?
Biceps
What muscle flexes the humerus?
The humerus doesnt flex. bones dont flex. but the muscles on top are called biceps.
What is the antagonist muscle to the frontalis?
orbicularis occuli and occipital
What is the ridge of bony tissue proximal to the lateral condyle of the humerus?
The deltoid tuberosity is proximal to the lateral condyle of the humerus. It's the site of attachment for the deltoid muscle.
Teres major antagonist?
The teres major muscle functions in both adduction and medial rotation of the humerus. The antagonists of this muscle are those which abduct the humerus and rotate it externally. The infraspinatus, posterior deltoid, and teres minor all function as antagonists of the teres major.
Name the insertion of the primary muscle used?
The deltoid muscle is muscle used to move your arm. The deltoid's insertion is at the deltoid tuberosity of humerus. The deltoid is responsible for flexion and medial rotation of the humerus.
What is the antagonist of the anterior deltoid muscle?
The antagonist of teres minor is: To medial rotation: latissimus dorsi, long head of triceps, pectoralis major, subscapularis. In Extension of humerus: latissimus dorsi, posterior deltoid and long head of triceps
The infraspinatus muscle is a muscle that moves the?
lateral rotation of humerus (upper arm)
What is the antagonist muscle to the gluteus maximus?
TFL does hop joint Flexion Abduction Medial rotation so you just need to find a muscle that does Extension adduction, and lateral rotation Gluteus Maximus does all those actions
What is the insertion of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle?
Medial epicondyle of humerus and ulna <3
A muscle that inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus is most likely involved in what?
lateral rotation
What does the Tensia fascia late muscle do?
the tensia fascia muscle does abduction, medial rotation and flexion of the hip joint
What is the primary action of the deltoids?
Elevation of the humerus and slight medial roataion of the shoulder. The anterior deltiod is a semi-weak muscle.
Where is the supraspinatus muscle originates in the medial rotation of the scapula?
Center of the shoulderblade and attaches to the spine.
The deltoid muscle is responsible for what primary movement?
Elevation of the humerus and slight medial roataion of the shoulder. The anterior deltiod is a semi-weak muscle.
What is the antagonist for the supinator?
The antagonist for the supinator muscle is the pronator teres muscle. These muscles work in opposition to each other to produce rotation of the forearm.
