  1. anterior serratus muscle

    The anterior serratus muscle, also known as the serratus anterior, is a broad muscle located on the side of the chest. It originates on the surface of the first to ninth ribs at the side of the chest and inserts along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the scapula. This muscle is responsible for allowing the forward rotation of the arm and pulling the scapula forward and around the rib cage, which is essential for activities like throwing a punch or pushing. Dysfunction or weakness in the serratus anterior can lead to conditions like scapular winging, where the shoulder blade sticks out from the back.
