Spinal cord in situ

The video tutorial discusses the serratus anterior muscle, a fan-shaped muscle located at the lateral wall of the thorax. It details the muscle's origin from the 1st to 9th ribs and its insertion at the scapula. The muscle is divided into three parts: superior, intermediate, and inferior, each with specific roles. The serratus anterior is innervated by the long thoracic nerve and plays a crucial role in scapula movement and stabilization. It also assists in lifting the ribs during inspiration. The video concludes with a call to explore more anatomy resources on Kenhub.
