What else can I help you with?
What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The muscle you are referring to is the subscapularis muscle. It originates on the subscapular fossa of the scapula and inserts on the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It is responsible for medial rotation of the shoulder joint.
What muscle flexes the elbow but neither originates nor inserts on the humerus?
The biceps brachii muscle.
What muscle originates on scapula and proximal humerus and inserts on olecranon process?
The triceps originates on the scapula and proximal humerus and inserts on the olecranon process. The muscles has three heads (hence its name) so it has multiple origins.
Which muscle does not attach to the ribs and iliac crest?
The pectoralis major is a muscle that does not attach to the ribs or the iliac crest. Instead, it primarily originates from the clavicle and the sternum and inserts into the humerus. Its primary functions include shoulder flexion, adduction, and internal rotation.
What bone do the muscles of the rotator cuff originate?
The rotator cuff muscles are referred to occasionally as the SITS muscles. The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and the subscapularis. The Supras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Infras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(greater tubercle. The Teres minor originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Subscapularis originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(lesser tubercle). The function of this muscle group is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Hope this helps.
What muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and inserts onto the coronoid process of the ulna to cause arm reflexion?
The brachialis muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and insert at the coronoid process. The function of the brachialis is flexion at the elbow.
What is the large broad sheet of muscle that originates along the thoracic and lumbar vertebra and inserts upon the humerus?
Latissimus dorsi
What muscle has it insertion at the clavicle?
The sternocleidomastoid muscle inserts at the clavicle. It originates from the sternum and the clavicle, and its primary actions involve rotating and flexing the head.
What muscle inserts on the greater tubercle of humerus?
supraspinatus
What muscle originates on the Occipital Bone and inserts on the Skin and muscle around the eye?
The occipitofrontalis muscle originates on the occipital bone and inserts on the skin and muscle around the eye. It is responsible for raising the eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead.
Is the sternocleidomastoid named for its origin and insertion?
Yes, the sternocleidomastoid muscle is named for its origins on the sternum (sterno-) and clavicle (cleido-) and its insertion on the mastoid process of the temporal bone.
A muscle that inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus is most likely involved in what?
lateral rotation
