Scapulohumeral Muscle
The scapulohumeral muscles are a group of seven muscles that connect the humerus to the scapula. They are amongst the muscles that act on and stabilise the glenohumeral joint in the human body. They include : *coracobrachialis muscle *deltoid muscle *rotator cuff muscles : :*infraspinatus muscle :*subscapularis muscle :*supraspinatus muscle :*teres minor muscle *teres major muscle See also

Other muscles that attach to the humerus and affect its rotation and stability : *latissimus dorsi muscle *pectoralis major muscle {{muscle-stub Shoulder Upper limb anatomy ...

The body is cylindrical in its upper portion, and more prismatic below. The lower extremity consists of 2 epicondyles, 2 processes (trochlea & capitulum), and 3 fossae (radial fossa, coronoid fossa, and olecranon fossa). As well as its true anatomical neck, the constriction below the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus is referred to as its surgical neck due to its tendency to fracture, thus often becoming the focus of surgeons. Etymology The word "humerus" is derived from la, humerus, umerus meaning upper arm, shoulder, and is linguistically related to Gothic ''ams'' shoulder and Greek ''ōmos''.
