10 The Muscular System: Part C
Muscles Crossing the Shoulder Joint • Nine muscles cross the shoulder joint to insert on and move the humerus
Muscles Crossing the Shoulder Joint • Some originate off the scapula; others originate off the axial skeleton • Three are prime movers of the arm • Pectoralis major • Latissimus dorsi • Deltoid • Actions include flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and rotation of humerus

Muscles Crossing the Shoulder Joint • Four muscles are rotator cuff muscles • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres minor • Subscapularis • Reinforce the capsule of the shoulder • Act as synergists and fixators • Two additional muscles are synergists: coracobrachialis and teres major

Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand • Small weak muscles • Lie entirely within the palm of the hand • Control precise movements of metacarpals and fingers (e.g., threading a needle) • Abductors and adductors of the fingers • Produce opposition—move the thumb toward the little finger
Finger and Thumb Movements • Flexion • Thumb—bends medially along the palm • Fingers—bend anteriorly • Extension • Thumb—points laterally • Fingers—move posteriorly
Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand • Three groups • Thenar eminence (ball of the thumb) • Hypothenar eminence (ball of the little finger) • Each of the above groups has a flexor, an abductor, and an opponens muscle • Midpalmar muscles: lumbricals and palmar and dorsal interossei extend the fingers • Interossei muscles also abduct and adduct the fingers
