Which muscle originates from the coracoid process of the scapula?

• A. Biceps Brachii
• B. Supraspinatus
• C. Subscapularis
• D. Teres Major

Answer: (A)

The coracoid process serves as an attachment point for muscles that move the shoulder and arm. Among the options, the biceps brachii attaches there, specifically its short head, which originates from the coracoid process (the long head comes from the supraglenaoid tubercle). The other muscles listed originate from different parts of the scapula: supraspinatus from the supraspinous fossa, subscapularis from the subscapular fossa, and teres major from the inferior angle/posterior surface. So the biceps brachii is the muscle that originates on the coracoid process.
