Shoulder muscles, artwork C013 / 4500

Shoulder muscles. Computer artwork of an anterior view of some of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and their attachments to the bones of the chest, back and upper arms. The shoulder muscles are the coracobrachialis and pectoralis minor muscles. The coracobrachialis muscle runs from the coracoid process of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the middle of the humerus (upper arm bone). The pectoralis minor muscle runs from the third to fifth ribs to the coracoid process of the scapula. The brachialis muscle runs from the middle of the humerus to the ulna in the lower arm. The joints at left include the ligaments (white)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of shoulder muscles and their attachments to the bones of the chest, back, and upper arms. In this computer artwork, a vibrant red hue highlights the coracobrachialis and pectoralis minor muscles that play a crucial role in shoulder movement. The coracobrachialis muscle gracefully extends from the coracoid process of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the middle of the humerus (upper arm bone), while the pectoralis minor muscle spans from the third to fifth ribs all the way to the coracoid process. These powerful muscles work in harmony with other structures like ligaments, depicted here in white, which provide stability and support for optimal joint function. Through this visually striking representation, we gain insight into our musculoskeletal system's complexity. The image reveals how these vital components interact within our bodies' framework - from collar bones (clavicles) to sternum, spinal column to ribcage - forming an interconnected structure that enables us to perform various movements effortlessly. Whether you are studying anatomy or simply fascinated by human biology, this artwork offers a glimpse into one aspect of our incredible physiology. It serves as a reminder of both our body's resilience and fragility while highlighting its inherent beauty.
