What thoracic muscle is the prime mover of shoulder flexion?

Medicine

Wewaii [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer to the question: What thoracic muscle is the prime mover of shoulder flexion, would be, A: Pectoralis minor.

Explanation:

The movement, and stability of the shoulder joint, and the arm itself, depends mostly on many muscles and tendons that keep it from coming apart with movement. While all of them work together to protect this joint and permit arm movement, some of them will aid in a certain type of movement, while others will antagonize these first. The important thing here is that as your joint moves, these muscles activate to ensure stability and movement. During flexion, which is literally the movement of bringing the arm closer to the body, there are several muscles that act as synergists, meaning, they act together to ensure correct movement and stability. One such muscle is the pectoralis minor, which arises from the ribs, and then inserts into the coracoid process of the scapula. In conjunction with other muscles, the pectoralis minor will be prime in shoulder flexion, and will be aided by others.

Which of the following vessels takes blood out of the renal corpuscle and returns to the bloodstream?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Glomerulus receives the blood from the body through large-diameter arterioles called "afferent arterioles" and after filtration, the filtered blood is sent back to the bloodstream through the "efferent arterioles" with small diameter than afferent arterioles.

The efferent arterioles either carry the blood to  

1. Cortex: where it forms anastomotic capillaries or peritubular plexus.

2. Medulla: carry the blood to vasa recta in the medulla.

Thus, option B- efferent arterioles are the correct answer.
