Anatomy

Upper Limb

Question 61 of 180

Your consultant asks you to examine the shoulder of a patient he suspects to have teres major weakness. The teres major muscle acts to produce which of the following movements:

Answer:

The teres major medially rotates and extends the humerus at the glenohumeral joint.

Teres Major Muscle

Anatomy / Upper Limb / Axilla

Last Updated: 8th April 2019

The teres major muscle passes from the inferior angle of the scapula to the upper humerus and contributes to the posterior axillary skin fold laterally.

Table: Function and Innervation of the Teres Major Muscle

Muscle Teres Major
Origin Posterior surface of inferior angle of scapula
Distal Attachment Medial lip of intertubercular sulcus on humerus
Function Medial rotation and extension of arm at glenohumeral joint
Innervation Lower subscapular nerve

Origin

The teres major muscle originates from a large oval region on the posterior surface of the inferior angle of the scapula.

Insertion

The broad cord-like muscle passes superiorly and laterally and ends as a flat tendon that inserts onto the medial lip of the intertubercular sulcus on the anterior surface of the humerus.

Function

The teres major medially rotates and extends the humerus at the glenohumeral joint.

Innervation

The teres major muscle is innervated by the lower subscapular nerve.
