10 The long head of the triceps brachii arises from the

infraglenoid tubercle.

11 The teres minor arises from the upper two-thirds of

the rough strip on the dorsal surface along the lateral

border (Fig.2.9).

12 The teres major arises from the lower one-third of

the rough strip on the dorsal aspect of the lateral

border (Fig.2.9).

13 The leaator scapulae is inserted along the dorsal

aspect of the medialborder, from the superior angle

up to the root of the spine (Fig. 2.9).

L4 The rhomboidminor isirrserted into the medialborder

(dorsal aspect) opposite the root of the spine (Fig.

2.e).

15 The rhomboidmajor is inserted into the medialborder

(dorsal aspect) between the root of the spine and

the inferior angle.
