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.
