Superscapularis Superior sive Supra∣spinatus.
THis is Fleshy and long,* 1.1 and presseth the whole Scapula
upwards: it ariseth from the whole Basis of the Sca∣pula
Fleshy above the Spine, filling the whole Cavity
between the Spine and the upper Rib of the Scapula, and going
back to the neck of it, passeth under the second Ligament of
the Humerus, as the Biceps doth, and is inserted by a broad
and strong Tendon obliquely into the neck of the Os Humeri,* 1.2
and doth bring the Arm about with the former; others do
affirm that it moves the Arm upwards with the Deltois. And
I apprehend that a great Use of this Muscle is to help the Cora∣cobrachialis
and Infraspinatus, in lifting up the Arm.
This you have at Tab. 15. at F. L. Shews the same laid bare.
