Elevates, retracts, and rotates the scapula. Attaches from the occipital bone and vertebrae to the clavicle and scapula.
Abducts the arm at the shoulder. Attaches from the clavicle and scapula to the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus.
Adducts and medially rotates the arm. Attaches from the clavicle, sternum, and ribs to the greater tubercle of the humerus.
Extends, adducts, and medially rotates the arm. Attaches from the lower vertebrae and iliac crest to the intertubercular groove of the humerus.
