Anatomical terms of motion

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

See Teres major muscle and Anatomical terms of motion

Athlete

An athlete is most commonly a person who competes in one or more sports involving physical strength, speed, power, or endurance.

See Teres major muscle and Athlete

Axillary space

The axillary spaces are anatomic spaces.

See Teres major muscle and Axillary space

Bicipital groove

The bicipital groove (intertubercular groove, sulcus intertubercularis) is a deep groove on the humerus that separates the greater tubercle from the lesser tubercle.

See Teres major muscle and Bicipital groove

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 Teres major muscle and Brachial plexus

Cervical spinal nerve 5

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

See Teres major 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 Teres major muscle and Cervical spinal nerve 6

Cervical spinal nerve 8

The cervical spinal nerve 8 (C8) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment.

See Teres major muscle and Cervical spinal nerve 8

Circumflex scapular artery

The circumflex scapular artery (scapular circumflex artery, dorsalis scapulae artery) is a branch of the subscapular artery and part of the scapular anastomoses.

See Teres major muscle and Circumflex scapular artery

Glenoid fossa

The glenoid fossa of the scapula or the glenoid cavity is a bone part of the shoulder.

See Teres major muscle and Glenoid fossa

Humerus

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

See Teres major muscle and Humerus

In human anatomy, the infraspinatus muscle is a thick triangular muscle, which occupies the chief part of the infraspinatous fossa. Teres major muscle and infraspinatus muscle are muscles of the upper limb.

See Teres major muscle and Infraspinatus muscle

Latissimus dorsi muscle

The latissimus dorsi is a large, flat muscle on the back that stretches to the sides, behind the arm, and is partly covered by the trapezius on the back near the midline. Teres major muscle and latissimus dorsi muscle are muscles of the upper limb, shoulder adductors, shoulder extensors and shoulder medial rotators.

See Teres major muscle and Latissimus dorsi muscle

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 Teres major 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 Teres major muscle and Lower subscapular nerve

Orthopedic surgery

Orthopedic surgery or orthopedics (alternative spelling orthopaedics) is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system.

See Teres major muscle and Orthopedic surgery

Physical therapy

Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is a healthcare profession, as well as the care provided by physical therapists who promote, maintain, or restore health through patient education, physical intervention, disease prevention, and health promotion.

See Teres major muscle and Physical therapy

Pitcher

In baseball, the pitcher is the player who throws ("pitches") the baseball from the pitcher's mound toward the catcher to begin each play, with the goal of retiring a batter, who attempts to either make contact with the pitched ball or draw a walk.

See Teres major muscle and Pitcher

Posterior cord

The posterior cord is a part of the brachial plexus.

See Teres major muscle and Posterior cord

Rotator cuff

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons that act to stabilize the human shoulder and allow for its extensive range of motion. Teres major muscle and rotator cuff are muscles of the upper limb.

See Teres major muscle and Rotator cuff

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 Teres major muscle and Scapula

Scapulohumeral muscles

The scapulohumeral muscles are a group of seven muscles that connect the humerus to the scapula.

See Teres major muscle and Scapulohumeral muscles

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 Teres major muscle and Shoulder joint

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 Teres major muscle and Subscapular artery

Supraspinatus muscle

The supraspinatus (supraspinati) is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinous fossa superior portion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle of the humerus. Teres major muscle and supraspinatus muscle are muscles of the upper limb.

See Teres major muscle and Supraspinatus muscle

Synovial bursa

A synovial bursa, usually simply bursa (bursae or bursas), is a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of viscous synovial fluid (similar in consistency to that of a raw egg white).

See Teres major muscle and Synovial bursa

Tendon

A tendon or sinew is a tough band of dense fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.

See Teres major muscle and Tendon

Teres minor muscle

The teres minor (Latin teres meaning 'rounded') is a narrow, elongated muscle of the rotator cuff. Teres major muscle and teres minor muscle are muscles of the upper limb and shoulder extensors.

See Teres major muscle and Teres minor muscle

Thoracodorsal nerve

The thoracodorsal nerve is a nerve present in humans and other animals, also known as the middle subscapular nerve or the long subscapular nerve.

See Teres major muscle and Thoracodorsal nerve

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. Teres major muscle and triceps are muscles of the upper limb and shoulder extensors.

See Teres major muscle and Triceps

Upper limb

The upper limbs or upper extremities are the forelimbs of an upright-postured tetrapod vertebrate, extending from the scapulae and clavicles down to and including the digits, including all the musculatures and ligaments involved with the shoulder, elbow, wrist and knuckle joints.

See Teres major muscle and Upper limb

Upper subscapular nerve

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

See Teres major muscle and Upper subscapular nerve

Vertebral column

The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, spine or backbone, is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals.

See Teres major muscle and Vertebral column
