Sequentially arrange the muscles of the human body according to the proximal attachment from head to toe:
A. Semimembranosus
B. Gastroenemius
C. Subclavius
D. Extensor digitorum brevis
E. Sternocliedomastoid
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c)

Sternocleidomastoid €: The sternocleidomastoid muscle is a prominent muscle located in the neck. It originates from two proximal attachments: the sternum (sterno-) and the clavicle (-cleido-), and inserts onto the mastoid process of the temporal bone. This muscle plays a crucial role in various movements of the head and neck, including rotation and flexion.

Subclavius©: The subclavius muscle lies beneath the clavicle, hence its name. It originates from the first rib and its cartilage, close to the sternum, and inserts onto the inferior surface of the clavicle. This muscle helps stabilize the clavicle during movements of the shoulder girdle.

Semimembranosus(A): Moving down the body, the semimembranosus muscle is one of the hamstring muscles located in the posterior thigh. It originates from the ischial tuberosity, a bony prominence of the pelvis, and inserts onto the medial condyle of the tibia. This muscle plays a significant role in extending the hip joint and flexing the knee joint.

Gastrocnemius (B): Next, we have the gastrocnemius muscle, a prominent muscle of the calf. It originates from the two femoral condyles at the distal end of the femur and inserts onto the calcaneus (heel bone) via the Achilles tendon. The gastrocnemius is a powerful muscle involved in plantar flexion of the foot and flexion of the knee joint.

Extensor digitorum brevis (D): Lastly, we have the extensor digitorum brevis muscle, located on the dorsum (top) of the foot. It originates from the calcaneus (heel bone) and inserts onto the middle and distal phalanges of the toes. This muscle assists in extending the toes and is involved in various movements of the foot.
