    Shoulder abducted: deltoid muscle, supraspinatus muscle.

    Deltoid

    Supraspinatus muscle starts from supraspinatus fossa scapula and the fascia covering it, and is attached to the greater tubercle humerus and partly to the capsule of the shoulder joint. The function of the muscle is to abduct the shoulder and tighten the joint capsule of the shoulder joint.

    Lead shoulder: pectoralis major muscle, latissimus dorsi muscle, subscapularis muscle, infraspinatus muscle.

    Pectoralis major muscle

    Latissimus dorsi muscle

    Subscapularis muscle

    Infraspinatus muscle

    61. Muscles that supinate and pronate the shoulder.

    Rotate the shoulder outward: deltoid muscle (posterior bundles), teres major muscle, infraspinatus muscle.

    Deltoid starts from the clavicle (anterior part of the muscle), acromion (middle part) and the spine of the scapula (posterior part), and attaches to the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. If the front and back parts alternately work, then the upper limb moves forward and backward, i.e. flexion and extension. If the entire muscle tenses, then its front and back parts form a resultant force, the direction of which coincides with the direction of the fibers of the middle part of the muscle, helping to abduct the shoulder to a horizontal level.

    Teres major muscle starts from the lower angle of the scapula and is attached to the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus, often by one tendon from the latissimus dorsi muscle. When contracting, the teres major muscle acts as a rounded eminence when the pronated shoulder is adducted. The function of the muscle is to adduct, pronate and extend the humerus.

    Infraspinatus muscle starts from the infraspinatus fossa of the scapula. In addition, the origin of this muscle is the infraspinatus fascia. Attaches to the greater tubercle of the humerus. The function of the infraspinatus muscle is to adduct, supinate and extend the shoulder in shoulder joint.

    Rotate the shoulder inward: deltoid muscle (anterior bundles), pectoralis major muscle, latissimus dorsi muscle, teres major muscle, subscapularis muscle.

    Deltoid

    Pectoralis major muscle starts from the medial half of the clavicle (clavicular part), the anterior surface of the sternum and the cartilaginous parts of the upper five or six ribs (sternocostal part), the anterior wall of the rectus sheath (ventral part) and is attached to the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus. It refers to the muscles that extend from the trunk to the free upper limb. This muscle pulls the scapula forward and away from the spinal column. But this function is secondary. Basically, it is involved in the movements of the humerus. If the torso is fixed, then this muscle adducts, pronates and flexes the humerus.

    Latissimus dorsi muscle starts from the spinous processes of the lower five to six thoracic vertebrae, all lumbar, upper sacral vertebrae and from the posterior part of the iliac crest, with four teeth from the four lower ribs, attaches to the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus. By adducting and penetrating the humerus, it causes the lowering of the upper limb girdle and adduction of the scapula to the spinal column; that part of the muscle that starts from the ribs can lift them and have some effect on increasing the volume of the chest during inhalation.

    Teres major muscle

    Subscapularis muscle located on the anterior surface of the scapula, filling the subscapular fossa, from which it begins. The muscle is attached to the lesser tubercle of the humerus. It produces shoulder adduction; acting in isolation, it is its pronator.

    Bend the shoulder: deltoid muscle (anterior bundles), pectoralis major muscle, biceps brachii muscle, coracobrachialis muscle.

    Deltoid starts from the clavicle (anterior part of the muscle), acromion (middle part) and the spine of the scapula (posterior part), and attaches to the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus. If the front and back parts alternately work, then the upper limb moves forward and backward, i.e. flexion and extension. If the entire muscle tenses, then its front and back parts form a resultant force, the direction of which coincides with the direction of the fibers of the middle part of the muscle, helping to abduct the shoulder to a horizontal level.

    Pectoralis major muscle starts from the medial half of the clavicle (clavicular part), the anterior surface of the sternum and the cartilaginous parts of the upper five or six ribs (sternocostal part), the anterior wall of the rectus sheath (ventral part) and is attached to the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus. It refers to the muscles that extend from the trunk to the free upper limb. This muscle pulls the scapula forward and away from the spinal column. But this function is secondary. Basically, it is involved in the movements of the humerus. If the torso is fixed, then this muscle adducts, pronates and flexes the humerus.

    Biceps The shoulder has two heads, long and short. The long head starts from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, and the short head starts from the coracoid process. The muscle is attached to the tuberosity of the radius and to the fascia of the forearm. This muscle is biarticular. It flexes the shoulder and fixes the head of the humerus in this joint; in relation to the elbow joint, it is a flexor and supinator of the forearm. Since the heads of the biceps muscle begin on the scapula at some distance from each other, their functions in relation to the movement of the shoulder are not the same: the long head flexes and abducts the shoulder, the short head flexes and adducts it. In relation to the forearm, the biceps brachii muscle is a vigorous flexor, as it has a significant leverage.

    Coracobrachialis muscle starts from the coracoid process of the scapula, fuses with the short head of the biceps muscle and the pectoralis minor muscle, and attaches to the humerus at the level of the deltoid muscle attachment. The function of the coracobrachialis muscle is not only to move the shoulder anteriorly, but also to adduct and pronate it.

    Extend the shoulder: deltoid muscle (posterior bundles), triceps brachii muscle (long head), latissimus dorsi muscle, teres major muscle, infraspinatus muscle.

    Deltoid

    Triceps brachii has three heads: long, medial and lateral. The long head starts from the subarticular tubercle of the scapula, and the medial and lateral ones start from the posterior surface of the humerus and intermuscular septa. All three heads come together into one tendon, which attaches to the olecranon process of the ulna. The muscle, when contracting, causes extension and adduction in the shoulder joint (long head) and extension in the elbow. The long head of the triceps brachii muscle can function independently.

    Latissimus dorsi muscle starts from the spinous processes of the lower five to six thoracic vertebrae, all lumbar, upper sacral vertebrae and from the posterior part of the iliac crest, with four teeth from the four lower ribs, attaches to the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus. By adducting and penetrating the humerus, it causes the lowering of the upper limb girdle and adduction of the scapula to the spinal column; that part of the muscle that starts from the ribs can lift them and have some effect on increasing the volume of the chest during inhalation.

    Teres major muscle starts from the lower angle of the scapula and is attached to the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus, often by one tendon from the latissimus dorsi muscle. When contracting, the teres major muscle acts as a rounded eminence when the pronated shoulder is adducted. The function of the muscle is to adduct, pronate and extend the humerus.

    Infraspinatus muscle starts from the infraspinatus fossa of the scapula. In addition, the origin of this muscle is the infraspinatus fascia. Attaches to the greater tubercle of the humerus. The function of the infraspinatus muscle is to adduct, supinate and extend the shoulder at the shoulder joint.

    Movements in the shoulder joint

    The shoulder joint is classified as spherical. It has an almost 360° range of motion for maximum flexibility. The muscles of the shoulder girdle not only provide

    these movements, but also increase the stability of the joint.

    Movements in the shoulder joint occur around three axes: horizontal, passing through the center of the glenoid cavity of the scapula; perpendicular to it is the anteroposterior one, passing through the head of the humerus, and vertical, running along the body of the humerus (with the arm lowered). This allows for flexion and extension, abduction (movement away from the body) and adduction (movement towards the body), as well as medial (internal) and lateral (external) rotation (rotation). The combination of these movements results in a circular movement of the limb (circumduction).

    MUSCLES PROVIDING SHOULDER MOVEMENTS Many of the muscles involved in these movements are attached to shoulder girdle(to the collarbones and shoulder blades). The places of muscle attachment to the scapula are on its anterior and posterior surfaces and the coracoid process. Some muscles come directly from the body (the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi). Other muscles are also involved in the movement of the humerus, including those that do not have direct contact with it (for example, the trapezius muscle). They do this by moving the scapula and moving the shoulder joint.

    Movements in the shoulder joint

    A The adduction of the arm is carried out by the pectoralis major muscle and latissimus muscle back, abduction - supraspinatus and deltoid muscles.

    A The muscles that perform lateral rotation of the shoulder are the infraspinatus, teres minor and posterior deltoid bundles. Medial rotation is produced by the muscles of the rotator cuff group.

    A Flexion (forward movement) is performed by the biceps, coracobrachialis, deltoid and large muscles. pectoral muscles. Extension (backward movement) is produced by the posterior fibers of the deltoid muscle, the latissimus dorsi muscle and the teres major muscle.

    And Circumduction (circular movement) is a combination of all these movements. Its possibility is due to the stabilizing effect of the clavicle, which holds the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity of the scapula. Circumduction is accomplished by alternating contraction of all muscle groups.
