_Teres Major_ (Grosser runder Muskel oder kleiner Rückwärtszieher des
Oberarmbein, Zweiter teres major). Springs from the posterior half of
the upper region of the outer surface of the scapula. It passes down,
with converging fibers, to unite with the latissimus dorsi muscle to
form a strong tendon that is inserted on the extensor surface of the
humerus.
_Subscapularis_ (Unterschulterblattmuskel). Springs from the inner
surface of the scapula, except from the suprascapula, goes with
converging fibers directly over the capsule of the shoulder joint to be
attached to the medial process of the humerus.
_Anconæus._ This strong muscle lies on the extensor side of the upper
arm. It is made up of two layers: the superficial comes from the
pectoral girdle in two heads: (a) the caput scapulare laterale externum
and (b) caput coraco-scapulare; the deeper layer originates on the
humerus by three heads, (c) caput humerale laterale, (d) caput humerale
posticum, and (e) caput humerale mediale. These five heads of the
anconæus muscle with their synonyms will now be described.
(a) _Caput Scapulare Laterale Externum_ (Plate I., Figs. 1 and 4,
asl) (Brevi proximum caput m. tricipitis, Gewöhnlicher [äusserer]
langer Kopf des dreiköpfigen Streckers, Portion scapulaire externe
du triceps-brachial, Erster langer Kopf des Triceps, [Zweiter]
abducirender vom Schultergerüst entstehender Kopf des Streckmuskels
des Vorderarmes, Triceps Nr. 1, Triceps longus). This muscle springs
as a tendon from the hinder border of the scapula directly beneath
the articular cavity, and extends back, between the scapulo-humeralis
profundus and the dorsalis scapulæ muscles, into the muscle belly.
(b) _Caput coraco-scapulare_ (Plate I., Figs. 2, 4, 5, 6, acs)
(Externum caput m. tricipitis, Innerer langer Kopf des dreiköpfigen
Streckers, Portion scapulaire interne du triceps-brachial, Zweiter
langer Kopf des Triceps, [Erster] abducirender vom Schultergerüst
entstehender Kopf des Streckmuskels des Vorderarmes, Triceps Nr. 2,
Triceps longus secundus). Arises by two distinct tendinous tips--the
upper, weaker one from the hinder border of the scapula, the lower,
broader one from the hinder border of the coracoid.
(c) _Caput Humeri Laterale_ (Plate I., Figs. 1 and 4, ahl) (Brevius
caput m. brachiei interni, [Aeusserer] kurzer Kopf des dreiköpfigen
Streckers, Portion huméral externe du triceps brachial, Aeusserer vom
Humerus ausgehender Kopf des Streckmuskels des Vorderarmes, Theil des
Triceps Nr. 3, Triceps externum). Springs from the lateral part of the
extensor surface of the humerus dorsal to the lateral process and the
origins of the humero-radialis and brachialis superior.
