What muscle inserts on the greater tubercle of humerus?
supraspinatus
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.
A muscle that inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus is most likely involved in what?
lateral rotation
What does the latissimus dorsi insert to?
on the intertubercular groove of the humerus just lateral to pectoralis major
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.
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 large muscle originates along the sternum and inserts onto the humerus?
You have the pectoralis major muscle in the chest wall. It arise from the sternum and the clavicle. It is inserted on the lateral part of the bicipital groove.
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 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.
Why is latissimus dorsi not an abdominal muscle group?
Because the latissimus dorsi origin is from the back and it inserts on the humerus. It doesn't cover the abdomen at all.
What is the depression on the ulna into which the humerus inserts?
olecranon fossa
