2023年5月8日 · The teres minor is a narrow, intrinsic shoulder muscle that extends from the lateral border of the scapula to the greater tubercle (or tuberosity) of the humerus.[1] It contributes to the “rotator cuff,” a capsule of muscles and tendons that collectively stabilize the glenohumeral joint. The teres minor is responsible for lateral, or external, rotation of the arm at the …

The teres minor (Latin teres meaning 'rounded') is a narrow, elongated muscle of the rotator cuff. The muscle originates from the lateral border and adjacent posterior surface of the corresponding right or left scapula and inserts at both the greater tubercle of the humerus and the posterior surface of the joint capsule.

Teres Minor is a narrow muscle which liesbelow infraspinatus, above teres major and triceps brachii, and deep to deltoid. It is one of the four muscles which comprise the Rotator Cuff.

2019年11月21日 · The teres minor muscle is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, the others being: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis. Teres minor originates from the middle third of the lateral border of the scapula, superior to …

2024年3月10日 · Stretching from the lateral edge of the scapula to the larger tubercle (or tuberosity) of the humerus, the teres minor is a small, intrinsic shoulder muscle. It is a part of the “rotator cuff,” a group of tendons and muscles that work together to …

2025年1月21日 · The Teres minor is a small, narrow muscle of the rotator cuff group in the shoulder. It is important for the stabilization and rotation of the shoulder joint.

Origin: Posterior aspect of superior half of lateral border of scapula. Insertion: Greater tubercle of humerus. Action: Laterally rotates, transversely abducts and stabilizes arm at glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. Innervation: Axillary nerve (C5-C6). Arterial Supply: Circumflex scapular and posterior circumflex humeral arteries.

The Teres minor is a narrow, elongated muscle, which arises from the dorsal surface of the axillary border of the scapula for the upper two-thirds of its extent, and from two aponeurotic laminae, one of which separates it from the Infraspinatus, the other from the Teres major.
