Medial surface with the levator scapulæ (Fig. 73, _h_), serratus anterior (Fig. 73, _i_), part of the scalenus (Fig. 73, _f_), the transversus costarum (Fig. 73, _j_), and the coracobrachialis (Fig. 77, _f_). Cranial border with the supraspinatus (Fig. 77, _d_). Caudal border with the teres major (Fig. 77, _c_) and infraspinatus (Fig. 75, _c_). _Action._--Pulls the humerus inward (mediad). =M. teres major= (Fig. 75, _d_; Fig. 77, _c_).--A thick muscle, triangular in cross-section, lying parallel with the glenoid border of the scapula. _Origin_ (Fig. 76, _j_; Fig. 78, _b_) from the vertebral one-third of the glenoid border of the scapula, and from fascia covering the subscapularis (Fig. 77, _a_) and the infraspinatus (Fig. 75, _c_) over a small area near the glenovertebral angle of the scapula. It may touch the insertion of the rhomboideus. _Insertion_ (Fig. 82, _f_) by a tendon common to it and the latissimus dorsi (Fig. 79, _d′_), as already described. _Relations._--Outer surface with the caput longum (Fig. 75, _g_) and the long portion (Fig. 80, _f_) of the caput mediale of the triceps, the latissimus dorsi (Fig. 77, _e_), and the cutaneus maximus. Inner surface with the serratus anterior (Fig. 73, _i_), the scalenus (Fig. 73, _f_), the transversus costarum (Fig. 73, _j_), and the biceps (Fig. 77, _g_). Dorsal border with the subscapularis (Fig. 77, _a_) and infraspinatus (Fig. 75, _c_). _Action._--Rotates the humerus inward and flexes it in opposition to the infraspinatus, teres minor, and the deltoidei.
