Anatomical terms of motion

Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms.

See Subscapularis muscle and Anatomical terms of motion

Aponeurosis

An aponeurosis (aponeuroses) is a flattened tendon by which muscle attaches to bone or fascia.

See Subscapularis muscle and Aponeurosis

Biceps

The biceps or biceps brachii (musculus biceps brachii, "two-headed muscle of the arm") are a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Subscapularis muscle and biceps are muscles of the upper limb.

See Subscapularis muscle and Biceps

Brachial plexus

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves (nerve plexus) formed by the anterior rami of the lower four cervical nerves and first thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1).

See Subscapularis muscle and Brachial plexus

Cervical spinal nerve 5

The cervical spinal nerve 5 (C5) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment.

See Subscapularis muscle and Cervical spinal nerve 5

Cervical spinal nerve 6

The cervical spinal nerve 6 (C6) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment.

See Subscapularis muscle and Cervical spinal nerve 6

Christian Gerber

Christian Gerber (born 24 May 1952, in Switzerland) is an orthopedic surgeon, physician, scientist and medical teacher in orthopedic surgery.

See Subscapularis muscle and Christian Gerber

Fascia

A fascia (fasciae or fascias; adjective fascial; from Latin: "band") is a generic term for macroscopic membranous bodily structures. Fasciae are classified as superficial, visceral or deep, and further designated according to their anatomical location.

See Subscapularis muscle and Fascia

Humerus

The humerus (humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

See Subscapularis muscle and Humerus

Joint capsule

In anatomy, a joint capsule or articular capsule is an envelope surrounding a synovial joint.

See Subscapularis muscle and Joint capsule

Lesser tubercle

The lesser tubercle of the humerus, although smaller, is more prominent than the greater tubercle: it is situated in front, and is directed medially and anteriorly.

See Subscapularis muscle and Lesser tubercle

Lower subscapular nerve

The lower subscapular nerve, also known as the inferior subscapular nerve, is the third branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.

See Subscapularis muscle and Lower subscapular nerve

Muscle

Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue.

See Subscapularis muscle and Muscle

Posterior cord

The posterior cord is a part of the brachial plexus.

See Subscapularis muscle and Posterior cord

Rib

In vertebrate anatomy, ribs (costae) are the long curved bones which form the rib cage, part of the axial skeleton.

See Subscapularis muscle and Rib

Scapula

The scapula (scapulae or scapulas), also known as the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).

See Subscapularis muscle and Scapula

Serratus anterior muscle

The serratus anterior is a muscle of the chest.

See Subscapularis muscle and Serratus anterior muscle

Shoulder

The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons.

See Subscapularis muscle and Shoulder

Shoulder joint

The shoulder joint (or glenohumeral joint from Greek glene, eyeball, + -oid, 'form of', + Latin humerus, shoulder) is structurally classified as a synovial ball-and-socket joint and functionally as a diarthrosis and multiaxial joint.

See Subscapularis muscle and Shoulder joint

Subluxation

A subluxation is an incomplete or partial dislocation of a joint or organ.

See Subscapularis muscle and Subluxation

Subscapular artery

The subscapular artery, the largest branch of the axillary artery, arises from the third part of the axillary artery at the lower border of the subscapularis muscle, which it follows to the inferior angle of the scapula, where it anastomoses with the lateral thoracic and intercostal arteries, and with the descending branch of the dorsal scapular artery (a.k.a.

See Subscapularis muscle and Subscapular artery

Teres major muscle

The teres major muscle is a muscle of the upper limb. Subscapularis muscle and teres major muscle are muscles of the upper limb and shoulder medial rotators.

See Subscapularis muscle and Teres major muscle

Triceps

The triceps, or triceps brachii (Latin for "three-headed muscle of the arm"), is a large muscle on the back of the upper limb of many vertebrates. Subscapularis muscle and triceps are muscles of the upper limb.

See Subscapularis muscle and Triceps

Upper subscapular nerve

The upper (superior) subscapular nerve is the first branch of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus.

See Subscapularis muscle and Upper subscapular nerve
