Human Anatomy Models

Anterior Shoulder Muscles

The next lab exam will be identifying muscles. I will ask you to name the musscle that I am pointing to on the model. Therefore, this page is to get you ready for that. In the picture below, you are looking at a zoomed in view of the anterior shoulder joint. I think this one is a hard picture because it is a weird angle. You are viewing it from the ribcage, so you are looking at the medial view of the arm. Also looking right, you are looking anterior and looking left you are posterior. Identify the the muscles that are labeled with the large numbers. When done, try the arm to see a less zoomed out view and the posterior shoulder.
