Uses.—The subscapularis rotates the head of the humerus inward ;when the arm is raised it draws the humerus downward. It is apowerful defence to the shoulder joint. The supra-spinatus raises thenrin feebly from the side ; the infra-spinatus and teres minor rotate thehead of the humerus outward; the teres minor assists its rotation in-ward, carrying it also toward the side, and somewhat backward. Themost important use of the supra-spinatus, infra-spinatus, and teres minoris to protect the joint against ^placement, for which purpose their 11J ANATOMY.
