Levator scapulae
QuestionChoice
The arrow indicates the subscapular fossa, a concave area on the anterior surface of the scapula. The subscapularis muscle originates from this fossa and is a key component of the rotator cuff. It plays a crucial role in shoulder stabilisation and internal rotation of the humerus. The subscapularis, along with the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor, collectively provides dynamic support to the glenohumeral joint, allowing for a wide range of shoulder movements while maintaining joint integrity.
