Breathing Exercises: Exercises for the lungs also referred to as breathing exercises , are essential for improving lung function and promoting respiratory health. These exercises are intended to strengthen respiratory muscles, increase lung capacity, and enhance the body's ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. These breathing techniques are frequently used in medical settings: Diaphragmatic Breathing Pursed lip Breathing Segmental Breathing Diaphragmatic Breathing: The diaphragm , a dome-shaped muscle situated below the lungs, is used actively during diaphragmatic breathing, also referred to as deep belly breathing or abdominal breathing .

Hidden wings of Humans-Serratus Anterior |
Origin of Serratus anterior
Serratus anterior normally originates by nine or ten muscle branches from either the first to ninth ribs or the first to eighth ribs.
Insertion of Serratus anteriorÂ
The muscle is inserted along the medial border of the scapula between the superior and inferior angles with thoracic vertebrae.
Nerve supply of Serratus anterior
The serratus anterior is innervated by the long thoracic nerve also known as the Nerve of the Bell, which is a branch of the brachial plexus.
ACTION of Serratus anterior
all the fibers work together to bring movement around the shoulder joint. serratus anterior acts as an antagonist to the rhomboids muscles.Â
The serratus anterior is so many times is known as the "big swing muscle" or "boxer's muscle" because its most muscle fibers actives largely responsible for the protraction of the scapula. The serratus anterior also plays a role in the upward rotation of the scapula.
Blood Supply of Serratus anterior
The Serratus anterior is supplied by lateral thoracic artery, superior thoracic artery (upper part), thoracodorsal artery (lower part).
