Study Notes
Muscles of the Scapula and Humerus
- The muscle that attaches the scapula with the humerus is the deltoid muscle.
Deltoid Muscle
- The deltoid muscle originates from the anterior surface of the acromion process and the lateral border of the scapula spine.
- The anterior fibers of the deltoid muscle are responsible for flexion and medial rotation of the humerus.
- The deltoid muscle receives its nerve supply from the axillary nerve (C5-C6).
