_Insertion._--Mostly upon the outer surface of the spinodeltoideus (Fig.
75, _c_). The outer fibres are continued to the bone, especially at the
lateral border of the muscle, and are inserted along a line ventrad of
the line of insertion of the spinodeltoideus, and extending farther
distally (Fig. 81, _g_). Some of the outer fibres pass into the
brachialis (Fig. 80, _h_).
_Relations._--Outer surface with the integument and the clavobrachial
(Fig. 68, _e_). Inner surface with the infraspinatus (Fig. 75, _c_),
teres minor (Fig. 80, _c_), spinodeltoid (Fig. 75, _e_), and caput
laterale of the triceps (Fig. 75, _h_).
_Action._--Like that of the spinodeltoid.
=M. clavobrachialis= (Fig. 65, _k_; Fig. 68, _e_).--A flat, triangular
muscle on the cranial surface of the shoulder, forming a direct
continuation of the clavotrapezius (Fig. 68, _d_). These two are
frequently described as constituting a single muscle, the cephalohumeral
or cephalobrachial. (The clavobrachial is frequently given the name
clavodeltoid; as its homology with the human clavodeltoid appears
doubtful, it seems well to use the name clavobrachial, as proposed by
Clasen.)

_Origin._--Its superficial fibres are continuations of the
clavotrapezius (Fig. 68, _d_); other fibres have origin from the
clavicle and from a raphe laterad of the clavicle which is common to
this muscle and the clavotrapezius. It passes distad along the cranial
surface of the arm, growing narrower as it approaches the convexity of
the elbow.
_Insertion._--Eight to ten millimeters from the ulna it joins the
brachialis muscle (Fig. 79, _i_) to be inserted with it by a flat tendon
(Fig. 79, _i_; Fig. 87, _c_) upon a rough area on the medial surface of
the ulna just distad of the semilunar notch, and about midway between
the dorsal and ventral borders.
