    What did you mean by 3rd or 4th rib

    Good question, I probably should have mentioned this in the video. I will pin your comment so others can find this who may have the same question. There can be some individual variation between the exact origin point on the ribs. For example, Person A has the latissimus dorsi connected to their inferior 1st, 2nd and 3rd rib. Person B has theirs connected to the inferior 1st, 2nd, 3rd AND 4th rib.

    @@Zaki-zg5lt yes it's as similar sort of thing. In the world of muscles there are actually some people who are totally missing some muscles entirely too. They're usually just minor muscles though. For example, the muscle called 'palmaris longus' located in the forearm/wrist is totally missing in around 15% of people. As for the serratus anterior, the origin is located towards the front of the body on the ribs. The insertion is located on the medial border of the scapula (towards the back of the body). Contracting the serratus anterior pulls the origin and insertion closer together. Which is how it causes protraction as it pulls it forward across the surface of the ribs. Check out the article on the website for some more details on the serratus anterior: bodyworksprime.com/serratus-anterior/

    Medial rotation is surprising!! Nice work 👏 👌 👍

    Thanks! It's definitely a less known action. It works alongside the subscapularis, teres major, pectoralis major, and the anterior fibres of the deltoid to accomplish the medial rotation.

    If you held your arms out away from your body, to your sides, that would be shoulder aBduction. Lowering them back to the body would be shoulder aDDuction. If you held your arms out directly in front of you that would be shoulder flexion, as your lowered them back down that would be extension. Hope that helps :)

    how can 1 muscle do 3 actions, when all it can do is contract.

  • @BodyworksPrime

    @BodyworksPrime

    Жыл бұрын

    Muscles are made up of fibers. These fibers are innervated by neurons. This gives the muscle a way to preferentialy contract certain muscle fibers. The deltoid is a good example of this. It is one muscle, but the anterior part contracting can flex the shoulder, the lateral part abducts the shoulder and the posterior part extends the shoulder. If you look up 'motor units' that would be a good starting place for learning about how it works. Hope that helps :)
