processes of superior angle dorsal rotates glenoid cervical artery
C1C4 to spine scapular nerve cavity
Rhomboid Ligamentum Medial border of Dorsal scapular Fixes scapula to Dorsal scapular artery OR deep
minor nuchae, spines scapula above nerve (C4C5) thoracic wall and branch of transverse cervical
of C7 and T1 base of spine retracts and rotates artery, dorsal perforating
vertebrae of scapula it to depress branches of the upper five or
glenoid cavity six posterior intercostal arteries
Rhomboid Spinous Medial border of Dorsal scapular Fixes scapula to Dorsal scapular artery OR deep
major processes of scapula below nerve (C4C5) thoracic wall and branch of transverse cervical
T2T5 vertebrae base of spine retracts and rotates artery, dorsal perforating
of scapula it to depress branches of the upper five or
glenoid cavity six posterior intercostal arteries

Intrinsic Supraspinatus: initiates arm abduction


Deltoid: gives shoulder its rounded appearance, Infraspinatus: laterally rotates arm
abducts arm past 15 degrees Subscapularis: primary medial rotator of the arm, also
Teres major: adducts and medially rotates arm adducts
Teres minor: hidden by deltoid, assists lateral rotation
of arm and adduction

Proximal Distal Attachment


Muscle Attachment (Origin) (Insertion) Innervation Main Actions Blood Supply

Deltoid Lateral third of Deltoid tuberosity of Anterior and Clavicular part: flexes and Posterior
anterior clavicle, humerus posterior medially rotates arm; circumflex
lateral acromion, branches of Acromial part: abducts humeral artery,
inferior edge of axillary nerve arm beyond initial 15 deltoid branch
spine of scapula (C5,C6) degrees done by of thoraco-
supraspinatus; Spinal acromial artery
part: extends and
laterally rotates arm
Supraspinatus Supraspinous fossa Superior facet of Suprascapular nerve Initiates arm abduction, Suprascapular
of scapula greater tubercle (C5,C6) acts with rotator cuff artery
of humerus muscles
Infraspinatus Infraspinous fossa of Middle facet of Suprascapular nerve Lateral rotation of arm Suprascapular
scapula and deep greater tubercle (C5,C6) (with teres minor) artery
fascia of humerus
Teres minor Upper two thirds of Inferior facet of Posterior branch of Laterally rotates arm Circumflex
posterior surface greater tubercle axillary nerve scapular artery
of lateral border of of humerus (C5,C6)
scapula
Teres major Posterior surface of Medial lip of Inferior subscapular Adducts and medially Circumflex
inferior angle of intertubercular nerve (C5,C6) rotates arm scapular artery
scapula sulcus of
humerus
Subscapularis Subscapular fossa Lesser tubercle of Superior and inferior Medially rotates arm and Subscapular
humerus subscapular adducts it; helps hold artery, lateral
nerves (C5C6) humeral head in thoracic artery
glenoid cavity
