Shoulder muscles, artwork C013 / 4501
Shoulder muscles. Computer artwork of an oblique 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 in all their glory. With a vibrant red hue, the artwork provides an oblique anterior view of these essential muscles and their connections to various bones within the chest, back, and upper arms. The coracobrachialis muscle steals the spotlight as it stretches from the coracoid process of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the middle region of the humerus (upper arm bone). Alongside it, we witness another key player - the pectoralis minor muscle - which extends from ribs three to five and attaches itself to the coracoid process. Our attention then shifts towards other significant components such as ligaments that surround these joints on display. These white strands serve as vital connectors between different structures within our musculoskeletal system. With its comprehensive depiction of this complex anatomy, this artwork offers valuable insights into how our shoulders function. It highlights not only bones like clavicles and scapulas but also emphasizes connective tissues like tendons and ligaments that enable smooth movement. Whether you're a medical professional seeking anatomical knowledge or simply fascinated by human biology, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. Its detailed portrayal invites us to appreciate both beauty and functionality found within our own bodies.
