What else can I help you with?
Which muscle moves the scapula forward?
Serratus Anterior, moves scapula forward.
What muscle moves the scapulae forward and rotate scapula upward?
The Serratus Anterior moves the scapula forward and rotates it upward.
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.
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.
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 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.
Which muscle will depress the scapula or elevate the ribs?
The pectoralis minor originates on the third to the fifth ribs (and elevates ribs). It depresses the scapula (and elevates ribs).
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.
Which muscle is responsible for holding the scapula on the chest wall?
The Serratus Anterior muscle is responsible for holding the scapula against the chest wall. It helps stabilize the scapula and is important for proper shoulder movement and function.
