The scapula. The scapula also called the shoulder blade, provides attachment for several groups of muscles. The intrinsic muscles of the scapula include the rotator cuff muscles, the teres major, subscapularis, teres minor, and infraspinatus. These muscles attach to the scapular surface and assist with abduction and external and internal rotation of the glenohumeral joint. The extrinsic muscles include the triceps, biceps, and deltoid. The third group of muscles includes the levator scapulae, trapezius, rhomboids, and serratus anterior. These muscles are responsible for rotational movements and stabilization of the scapula.
