The Muscles of the Shoulder (Scapulohumeral Muscles)
1- Deltoid Muscle
Anatomically it is composed of three sets:
1) Anterior (Clavicular)
2) Lateral (Acromial)
3) Posterior (Spinal)
2- Supraspinatus Muscle
Function: Abduction of the arm and prevents the head of the
Humerus to slip inferiorly.
Two muscles provide abduction of the arm:
1- First 15 degrees -> Supraspinatus
2- Beyond 15 degrees -> Deltoid Muscle
Phoraco-acromial
3- Infraspinatus Muscle
Function: External Rotations of the Humerus and stabilize the
~
↳ Acromial Branch
Cumtae
1- Supraspinatus -> Abduction
2- Infraspinatus - > External Rotation
3- Subscapularis -> Internal Rotation
4- Tares Minor - > External Rotation
The Muscles of the Arm (Brachium)
The arm muscles of the arm are enveloped by the Deep Fascia and
tularyatittle
divided by the Medial Intermuscular Septum and the Lateral
Intermuscular Septum.
The compartments formed are the Anterior and Posterior, each has
its muscles, nerves, and arteries.
Function: Flexion -
Btw the long and Medial heads ofthe Triceps
Origin Insertion
Biceps Brachii - Short Head: Coracoid - Radial Tuberosity
- Long Head: Supraglenoid - Bicipital Aponeurosis
Brachialis - Ant surface of Humerus - Coronoid process and Tuberosity of Ulna
Coracobrachialis* - Coracoid Process - Anteromedial Surface of Humerus

This muscle is visible as a tendon between the Flexor Carpi Radialis
and Ulnaris. -> Not Always

Radialis Brevis Humerus Radial Nerve C7 – C8 the hand at the wrist
1- Brachioradialis Muscle
!!! all of them share the same tendon (Extensor Tendon) for the
origin -> The origin is the same: The Lateral Epicondyle
The insertion tendons of this muscle bifid after passing under the
Extensor Retinaculum. Then the two join the tendon of the Extensor
Digitorum Muscle at the little finger and insert at the Dorsal
Expansion of the 5th digit.
