A muscle situate in the above-mentioned fossa. It is flat, broad, and triangular; is attached, by its base, to the subscapulary fossa and to the anterior lip of the edge of the spine of the scapula, and is inserted into the lesser tuberosity of the humerus. It carries the arm in rotation inwards. It can also depress it, and bring it towards the body.
