Muscles Question

MC · 2004-09-02T20:20:00Z

Ok I've really tried to answer this question and think i'm on the right track but not sure so any help would be appreciated. If you were to throw your arms around someone in an embrase, which pair of muscles would be mainly responsible for this action? Thanks MC

RE: Muscles Question

Hi,
I think the pectorals would be the prime movers since you are adducting the humerus of each arm to make the embrace. There would be muscles in the deltoids (esp. anterior) to assist and keep the shoulders in flexion. Biceps & triceps would stabilize.
