Shoulder muscle, artwork C013 / 4507
Shoulder muscle. Computer artwork of an oblique posterior view from above of one of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and its attachment to the bones of the back and upper arms. This is the infraspinatus muscle, which runs from the infraspinous fossa of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle next to the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). The function of this muscle is to enable rotation of the arm and to stabilise the shoulder joint. The right-hand side of this view includes joint ligaments (white). Also shown here are the bones of the ribcage and spine, and the clavicles (collar bones) across the top of the torso

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the shoulder muscle, specifically the infraspinatus muscle. With a vibrant red hue, this computer artwork provides an oblique posterior view from above, revealing its attachment to the bones of the back and upper arms. The function of this crucial muscle is two-fold: enabling rotation of the arm and stabilizing the shoulder joint. The image also highlights other elements essential to understanding human anatomy. Joint ligaments are depicted in white on the right-hand side, emphasizing their role in connecting bones and providing stability. The skeletal framework includes bones of the ribcage, spine, clavicles (collar bones), and humerus (upper arm bone). This comprehensive illustration offers a holistic perspective on how these structures interact within our bodies. From a biological standpoint, this print delves into various aspects such as musculature, connective tissue, joints, ligaments, and even arthrology—the study of joints specifically. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in studying or visualizing different components of our musculoskeletal system. With its attention to detail and scientific accuracy provided by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library—renowned for their expertise in medical imagery—this artwork not only educates but also captivates viewers with its stunning portrayal of human anatomy.
