Shoulder muscles, artwork C013 / 4505

Shoulder muscles. Computer artwork of an anterior view of two of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and their attachments to the bones of the chest, back and upper arms. The deltoid muscle wraps around the shoulder, running from the clavicle (collar bone) and the acromion of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus (upper arm bone). The large pectoralis major muscle runs from the clavicle and sternum (breastbone) to the intertubercular groove on the humerus. The left-hand side of this view includes joint ligaments (white). The muscles at left are semi-transparent to show underlying bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of shoulder muscles and their attachments to various bones in the upper body. In this computer artwork, we are presented with an anterior view that highlights two prominent muscles in vivid red - the deltoid and pectoralis major. The deltoid muscle gracefully wraps around the shoulder, originating from both the clavicle (collar bone) and acromion of the scapula (shoulder blade), before inserting into the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus (upper arm bone). Its elegant structure is a testament to its crucial role in facilitating a wide range of arm movements. Adjacent to it, we observe the robust pectoralis major muscle, which extends from both the clavicle and sternum (breastbone) to anchor onto the intertubercular groove on the humerus. This powerful muscle contributes significantly to activities involving pushing or hugging motions. To provide further context, joint ligaments are depicted in white on one side of this image while maintaining transparency for better visibility of underlying bones. The inclusion of these ligaments emphasizes their vital role in providing stability and support to our shoulder joints. Overall, this visually striking artwork not only celebrates human anatomy but also serves as a valuable educational resource for anyone interested in understanding how our musculoskeletal system functions.
