What is the action of the levator scapulae?
The levator scapulae muscle primarily elevates and rotates the scapula (shoulder blade) downward and inward, allowing for movements such as shrugging the shoulders. It can also contribute to lateral flexion of the neck when acting unilaterally.
What does it mean when the term levator is part of the descriptive term for a muscle's action?
When the term "levator" is part of a muscle's action, it typically indicates that the muscle is involved in lifting or elevating a specific body part. For example, the levator scapulae muscle elevates the scapula (shoulder blade), while the levator anguli oris muscle elevates the angle of the mouth when smiling.
What is the scapula notch used for?
Supra-scapular nerve passes from there. Some times there is a foramen there.
What muscles does sural nerve supply?
The sural nerve is cutaneous and therefore does not supply any muscles.
What is the nerve supply to the larynx?
The larynx receives its nerve supply from the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). Specifically, the recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates the intrinsic muscles of the larynx involved in phonation, while the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve supplies the cricothyroid muscle.
What deep muscle protract the scapula during punching?
levator scapulae
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
Which muscle is attached to the vertebral edge of the scapula?
Posterioly there are the Rhomboideus major and minor and levator scapula. While anteriorly is the upper three digitations of serratus anterior.
What three muscles insert onto the medial border of the scapula?
The three muscles that insert onto the medial border of the scapula are the rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, and levator scapulae. They help stabilize and move the scapula during various shoulder movements.
How do you stretch the elevator scapula muscle to relieve pinched nerve pain?
There is a video demo of how to stretch here http://www.answerbag.com/articles/video/Levator-Scapulae-Muscle-Stretch/f089f5b0-da98-0e87-7f95-9dac1a5f23a9
What muscle attaches to the vertebral border of the scapula?
Muscles that attach to the scapula are:The Pectoralis minor.The coracobrachialis.The short head of biceps brachii.
What is the synergist of the trapezius in scapular elevation?
The synergist of the trapezius in scapular elevation is the levator scapulae muscle. It works together with the trapezius to elevate the scapula and assist in movements like shrugging the shoulders.
What is the action of the levator scapulae?
The levator scapulae muscle primarily elevates and rotates the scapula (shoulder blade) downward and inward, allowing for movements such as shrugging the shoulders. It can also contribute to lateral flexion of the neck when acting unilaterally.

Muscle that daises ribs in forceful inhalation?
Rhomboideus Major The rhomboid major helps to hold the scapula (and thus the upper limb) onto the ribcage. It also acts to retract the scapula, pulling it towards the vertebral column, and downwardly rotates the scapula with respect to the glenohumeral joint. It works collectively with the levator scapulae to elevate the medial border of the scapula.
What musel moves scapula?
The scapula is not only moved by one muscle, but several. All the muscles around it that connect to it assist in moving it in a certain way whether it be moving it closer to the spine in adduction, away from the spine in abduction, elevating it, or rotating it. The subscapularis, romboids, trapezius, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, latisimus dorsi, levator scapuli, teres, and some other rotator cuff muscles all move the scapula. -elias
Are the eyelid controlled by cranial nerve?
Occulomotor nerve (CN III) controls levator palpebrae so yes, the eyelids are controlled by cranial nerves.
