Muscle Round (Teres)

The teres muscle is one of two muscles of the shoulder girdle, starting from the scapula and attached to the humerus, which extends and rotates the shoulder medially. In this text we will look at the anatomy and function of the teres major and minor muscles.

The teres major muscle starts from the medial border of the scapula and goes down and back, attaching to the posterior surface of the humerus at the level of the middle third of its length. It is made up of many muscle fibers that contract to extend and internally rotate the shoulder and assist in raising the arm.

The teres minor muscle also starts from the medial side of the scapula, but goes up and forward, attaching to the anterior surface of the humerus in the upper third of its length. Its function is to rotate the shoulder outward, as well as to participate in the movement of the arms.

Both teres muscles work together to provide greater strength and stability when moving your arms, which is why it is important to keep them healthy and functional. To do this, you need to perform exercises to strengthen the muscles of the shoulder girdle and avoid injuries such as sprains and tears.



The teres muscle is one of two muscles of the shoulder girdle, which starts from the shoulder blade and attaches to the humerus. It is an important muscle for maintaining balance and coordination of movements of the upper limb.

The round muscle consists of two parts - large and small. The teres major muscle is called teres major and is responsible for shoulder extension and internal rotation. The teres minor muscle, or teres minor, externally rotates the shoulder, which helps maintain balance and coordination of the upper limb during movement.

The teres muscle plays an important role in maintaining balance and coordination of the upper limb, as well as in providing the movements necessary to perform various physical exercises and sports activities. In addition, the teres muscle is involved in the functioning of the shoulder joint, ensuring its stability and flexibility.

To maintain health and prevent injury, it is recommended to regularly perform exercises to develop the teres muscle. This can help improve coordination, strengthen muscles and joints, and prevent possible injuries.
