Shoulder muscles, artwork C013 / 4513
Shoulder muscles. Computer artwork of an anterior view of two of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and their attachment to the bones of the back and upper arms. These are the teres major and teres minor muscles. The teres major muscle is shown on both sides here. The teres minor muscle is shown in semi-transparent mode at left. Both muscles run from the scapula (shoulder blade) to the humerus (upper arm bone), and surround the armpit (axillary) space. The teres minor muscle is part of the shoulders rotator cuff, while the teres major muscle isn t. The left-hand side of this view includes joint ligaments (white)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of shoulder muscles in exquisite detail. The artwork, titled C013 / 4513, presents an anterior view of two prominent muscles that play a vital role in our upper body movement. In striking red hues, the teres major and teres minor muscles take center stage. Both muscles extend from the scapula (shoulder blade) to the humerus (upper arm bone), enveloping the armpit space with their strength and flexibility. However, while the teres minor muscle is part of the shoulder's rotator cuff, its counterpart - the teres major muscle - serves a different purpose. The semi-transparent rendering on the left side highlights the delicate structure of the teres minor muscle, allowing us to appreciate its connection to surrounding ligaments and bones. White joint ligaments are also visible on this side, emphasizing their crucial role in maintaining stability within this complex musculoskeletal system. This artwork not only offers a glimpse into human anatomy but also reminds us of our body's incredible design and resilience. It invites contemplation about how these structures enable us to perform everyday tasks effortlessly. With its blend of artistry and scientific precision, this print from Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library captures both anatomical accuracy and aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to our fascination with understanding ourselves at every level – from biology enthusiasts to healthcare professionals seeking knowledge for medical practice or research purposes.
