  2. Scapula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapula

    The scapula is a thick, flat bone lying on the thoracic wall that provides an attachment for three groups of muscles: intrinsic, extrinsic, and stabilizing and rotating muscles. The intrinsic muscles of the scapula include the muscles of the rotator cuff (SITS muscle)—the subscapularis, supraspinatus , infraspinatus and teres minor. [ 3 ]

  3. Levator scapulae muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levator_scapulae_muscle

    The levator scapulae is a slender [1]: 910 skeletal muscle situated at the back and side of the neck. It originates from the transverse processes of the four uppermost cervical vertebrae; it inserts onto the upper portion of the medial border of the scapula.

  4. Coracoid process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracoid_process

    The coracoid process acts as an attachment and origin for a large number of muscles (attached muscles not labeled here). The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula; [2] it runs at first upward and medially; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and laterally.

  5. Scapulohumeral muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapulohumeral_muscles

    The scapulohumeral muscles are a group of seven muscles that connect the humerus to the scapula. They are amongst the muscles that act on and stabilise the glenohumeral joint in the human body. They include: coracobrachialis muscle deltoid muscle rotator cuff muscles: infraspinatus muscle subscapularis muscle supraspinatus muscle teres minor muscle teres major muscle See also Other muscles ...

  6. Trapezius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezius

    When activating together, the upper and lower fibers also assist the middle fibers (along with other muscles such as the rhomboids) with scapular retraction/adduction. The trapezius also assists in abduction of the shoulder above 90 degrees by rotating the glenoid upward.

  7. Dorsal scapular nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_scapular_nerve

    Dorsal scapular nerve syndrome can be caused by nerve compression syndrome. A winged scapula is the most common symptom. [7] Shoulder pain may occur. [7] It causes weakness in rhomboid major muscle, rhomboid minor muscle, and levator scapulae muscle. [7] The range of motion of the shoulder may be limited. [7] Treatment is usually conservative. [7]

  8. Teres major muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teres_major_muscle

    It attaches to the scapula and the humerus and is one of the seven scapulohumeral muscles. It is a thick but somewhat flattened muscle. The teres major muscle (from Latin teres, meaning "rounded") is positioned above the latissimus dorsi muscle and assists in the extension and medial rotation of the humerus.

  9. Shoulder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder

    The opposite motion of scapular retraction. The scapula is moved anteriorly and laterally along the back, moving the arm and shoulder joint anteriorly. If both scapulae are protracted, the scapulae are separated and the pectoralis major muscles are squeezed together. [11] serratus anterior (prime mover), pectoralis minor and major Scapular ...
